To make this mouthwatering sandwich, you'll need the following ingredients:
- For the meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- For the lingonberry gravy:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup lingonberry preserves
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the sandwich:
- 4 sub rolls, split and toasted
- Sliced Swiss cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, onion, and garlic. Mix well with your hands until everything is evenly combined.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, make the lingonberry gravy. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is lightly browned.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, lingonberry preserves, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a few meatballs on each toasted sub roll. Top with a generous spoonful of lingonberry gravy and a slice of Swiss cheese. Broil the sandwiches for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. The Swedish Meatball Sub with Lingonberry Gravy is a delicious and satisfying sandwich that's perfect for lunch or dinner. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, while the lingonberry gravy adds a tangy and slightly sweet note that perfectly complements the savory meat. The melted Swiss cheese and toasted sub roll add the perfect finishing touch to this mouthwatering dish.
