Frozen Meatballs, Precooked: Frozen meatballs make preparing this dish so simple! Butter: Adds richness and flavor to the sauce. Flour: Used to make the panade and thicken the sauce. Beef Broth: Provides a savory base for the sauce. Mushroom or vegetable broth will also work, but it will change the overall flavor of the dish slightly. Heavy Cream: Adds creaminess and richness to the sauce. You can also use half and half for something a little lighter. Worcestershire Sauce: Enhances the flavor of these slow cooker Swedish meatballs with a tangy and savory taste. Dijon Mustard: So the sauce has a little extra tanginess and zing. Spices: I used a dash of allspice and nutmeg to give the meatballs a warm flavor. Salt and Pepper: Make the slow cooker Swedish meatballs taste better overall. Noodles: Serve as a base for the Swedish meatballs, soaking up all that delicious sauce.

How to Make Swedish Meatballs in a Crock Pot

This swedish meatballs recipe takes a little bit of prep work initially, but then it’s off to the slow cooker to let it work its magic! While these Swedish meatballs cook low and slow, you can go about your day and then come home to a hearty and delicious meal.

Customize Sauce Thickness: Adjust the flour amount to control the thickness of the sauce. For a thicker sauce, add a bit more flour; for a lighter one, use less. Make it More Creamy: If you love a creamier sauce, increase the amount of heavy cream or even add a dollop of sour cream for an extra creamy finish. Serve With Lingonberry Sauce: If you’ve ever had the meatballs from Ikea, you’re probably familiar with this, but lingonberry jam or sauce is a traditional condiment served with this dish. It adds a little tangy sweetness that balances out the richness of Swedish meatballs.
