Como fazer Aunt Bea's Famous Swedish Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Crush 4 saltine crackers into fine crumbs. Place crumbs in a bowl and add 1/4 cup of water, allowing them to soften for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 pound ground pork, the softened saltine cracker mixture, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place meatballs on a baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup grape jelly, 1/4 cup chili sauce, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Bake meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
- Add the baked meatballs to the simmering sauce and gently stir to coat.
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve the Swedish meatballs over cooked rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
