Part 4/10:
Next up is a comforting Swedish Meatballs dinner, simplified with only five ingredients: ground beef, beef broth, heavy cream, potatoes, and frozen green beans. External pantry staples like onion, garlic, and seasonings like allspice and white pepper may be added but are optional if you're aiming for minimal ingredients.
The process involves finely chopping onion, mixing it with ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk or cream, egg, and spices. The mixture is formed into golf ball-sized meatballs and browned in a skillet. While they cook, green beans are prepared using a TikTok-inspired method: tossing frozen green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then roasting at 400°F for about 30 minutes.
