Serving Suggestions

What can you serve with this delicious sauce? You should definitely serve it with Swedish Meatballs.

Or serve it with other kinds of meatballs.

It is also great on top of chicken fried steak or Salisbury steak, but if you do that, don’t add All Spice to the sauce.

Serve on top of Mini Meatloaves.

Pro Tips For The Most Silky, Delicious Sauce

Cook the sauce on low heat. If you add cold milk products to very hot Swedish meatball gravy, it can curdle and ruin the sauce.

Take the half and half out of the refrigerator a couple of minutes before you make the sauce, so that it warms up a bit.

Don’t be afraid to adjust your Sweedish Meatball Sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more stock or half and half.

Try the sauce and adjust the spices — some people like more All Spice in their sauce, other prefer it a bit saltier. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
