Copycat Ikea Swedish Meatballs

I love shopping at Ikea and no trip is complete without a stop by their food court for some of their delicious meatballs! These Copycat Ikea Swedish Meatballs are quick to make and have a luscious cream sauce perfect for serving over mashed potatoes. A l ittle cranberry sauce (or lingonberry sauce) on the side and you have yourself a perfect copycat.
