A blend of ground beef and pork gives these meatballs their signature tenderness, while allspice and nutmeg lend the cozy, aromatic warmth that makes them unmistakably Swedish. Browned until golden and simmered gently in rich gravy, they are pure comfort on a fork. Pile them over mashed potatoes or buttery egg noodles. This is the kind of homey dinner that feels like a family tradition.
