I have fallen in love with the Swedish meatballs from Ikea. The last time I went I even bought the bag of frozen meatballs to buy at home. I also bought a package of the gravy mix and the jelly, too. Unfortunately, I didn't know you need two packets of the gravy mix since one packet is used to make half the bag of meatballs. What's a girl to do when the nearest Ikea is two hours away? Find a copycat recipe, of course.I searched the web, and could not find a recipe that used the ingredients I had in my house so I had to make a couple of substitutions. The result was very close to the real thing. Now, I just need to find a copycat meatball recipe and I'll have it made.
