Swedish Meatballs with Creamy Dill Sauce (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 0.5 lb Ground Pork
• 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Breadcrumbs
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp Allspice
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 cups Vegetable Broth
• 4 oz Dairy-Free Cream Cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 0.5 lb ground pork, 0.5 cup dairy-free breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 0.5 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 0.5 tsp allspice, 0.25 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
2. 2Roll the meat mixture into small, uniform meatballs.
3. 3Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, approximately 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the meatballs in the hot skillet and brown them on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
4. 4Pour 2 cups vegetable broth into the same skillet. Bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat, approximately 350°F (175°C), while gently scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
5. 5Reduce the heat to low, approximately 200°F (95°C). Whisk in 4 oz dairy-free cream cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
6. 6Return the browned meatballs to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Cover the skillet and let the meatballs simmer gently in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and they are cooked through.
7. 7Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill and 1 tsp lemon juice. Serve the Swedish meatballs and creamy dill sauce hot.
