Vegetarian Swedish Meatballs

When I was a meat-eater I loved swedish meatballs.  Lately, I have had a craving so I wanted to try and make a veggie version.  When I looked for recipes online they all used some kind of meat substitute.  As I have mentioned,  I don’t like to use a lot of meat substitutes so I wanted to come up with another option.  Last week was not a success so I had to try again this week!  And success!!!  I was really happy with the way these turned out.  I tweaked my mom’s meatball recipe a bit  and they turned out perfect for this recipe.

  1. Oh, this is totally different from the recipes I know of, which don’t have a creamy sauce. I am a total sucker for anything involving cream of mushroom soup, though, so I’m going to have to try this out!

  2. FTI: worchestershire sauce is not vegetarian

    • There are some varieties that are vegetarian. I edited the post to specify. Thank you.
