Here's How To Make IKEA's Famed Swedish Meatballs

Money cant buy happiness, but it can buy you the ingredients to make IKEAs famous Swedish meatballs.

The furniture retailers United Kingdom account tweeted the recipe for its meatballs and accompanying cream sauce on Monday, paired with illustrated instructions for a novice cook.

Its a relatively simple recipe. All a hungry chef needs to whip up some meatballs is some ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs and milk. The sauces shopping list includes butter, flour, vegetable stock, beef stock, heavy cream, soy sauce and Dijon mustard.

(Americans will also have to do the necessary math to convert the U.K. measurements from the metric system.)

Many people have taken to cooking and baking while in lockdown in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus, which Lorena Lourido, IKEAs country food manager in the UK and Ireland, told People she knows can be hard.

We want to help make everyones lives that little bit easier and more enjoyable, she told the publication.

Lourido also noted that this recipe is an at-home alternative to the meatballs they sell in-store and uses easily accessible ingredients, so while it might not be the exact ones the retailer makes, theyre pretty darn close.

Well, we have some grocery shopping to do. Cant wait to chow down.
