Swedish Meatballs

This weekend, I asked Dear Darling what he would like for dinner.  I really struggle with this, as I do like to cook, and I do like to eat, but I HATE figuring out what to fix!
 
So, he said he wanted:


Swedish Meatballs

I have not made them in years, so I went to AllRecipes.com, which is a favorite recipe site of mine, and found the above recipe.



I did follow the making of the meatballs to the T, but I did use more meat with the same amount of spices.  In the past, it's been probably 10 years since I made them, I no longer remember the recipe, I know I did not use allspice or ginger, but I did use nutmeg.



Anyway, I cooked them as directed, but since I have issues with fat content and additives, I used water instead of canned or powdered broth.  They came out of the oven just fabulous!  I used some of that liquid to make "the gravy" and them put them in the crock pot to keep warm until dinner time.



I did forget to purchase egg noodles, so we used angel hair pasta from the pantry and I cooked up some frozen broccoli and dinner was a hit.



I will definitely make them again, just as the recipe is written.
