Swedish meatballs

Swedish meatballs are small, seasoned balls of ground meat—typically beef and pork—served in a creamy gravy, often with lingonberry jam on the side.
The dish is associated with Swedish home cooking and, globally, with IKEA cafeterias: We stopped for Swedish meatballs after browsing furniture.
