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.
Ingredients
- 1 cup nuts (I used almonds and walnuts, use whatever you have on hand)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used mozzarella but you could use cheddar or jack)
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- a splash of soy sauce
- splash of worchestershire sauce (make sure you read the ingredients and buy a vegetarian version)
- pinch of thyme
- pinch of sage
- black pepper
- 1 package egg noodles, cooked according to package directions
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine nuts through pepper in food processor and process until pretty smooth.
- Shape into balls and fry in a little olive oil until browned on both sides
- Transfer to 8×8 baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Combine soup, sour cream, and 1/2 can of water and pour over the meatballs.
- Bake for about 30 minutes.
- Serve over the noodles.

Hi! I'm Jamie. I love making delicious vegetarian meals for my family. Here you will find easy and affordable recipes with some occasional glimpses of my life as a stay at home mommy to 3. I'm glad you're here!









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!
FTI: worchestershire sauce is not vegetarian
There are some varieties that are vegetarian. I edited the post to specify. Thank you.
