Swedish Meatballs in Cream Sauce (Köttbullar)

Your guy won't be able to resist! Simple, quick, and incredibly tasty! Swedish restaurants once had a reputation for being stuffy, buttoned-up places — no men allowed without a tie, and hardly the spot to kick back with friends. What saved them was good old home cooking: simple, though far from skimpy. These days you'll find plenty of "exotic" dishes on restaurant menus, including recipes like the famous IKEA-style meatballs in cream sauce (köttbullar). And by the way, this is a traditional home-style dish that Swedes — and not only Swedes — still love to this day.
