Swedish meatballs are a popular dish in Scandinavia and around the world, often served with gravy, lingonberry jam, and mashed potatoes. This recipe, however, takes a more American twist by using cream of celery soup and instant coffee to create a savory and slightly sweet sauce for the meatballs. The use of a crockpot makes this recipe extremely easy and hands-off, allowing you to enjoy a delicious meal with minimal effort. This recipe is perfect for meatball enthusiasts or anyone looking for a comforting and flavorful dinner.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, mix together the cream of celery soup and milk until well combined.
2.	Add in the beef bouillon cubes and instant ground coffee, stirring until the cubes are dissolved.
3.	Add the frozen meatballs to the mixture and stir well to coat them evenly.
4.	Pour the mixture into the crockpot and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meatballs are fully cooked. Serve hot and enjoy!

PROS

This recipe is extremely easy and requires only a few ingredients, making it perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.
The use of a crockpot means you can set it and forget it, giving you more time to relax or take care of other tasks.

The flavors of creamy celery soup and beef bouillon pair perfectly with the tender meatballs, creating a delicious and comforting dish.

CONS

The use of cream of celery soup and beef bouillon cubes means this recipe can be high in sodium.
To reduce the sodium content, use low-sodium versions of these ingredients or make your own cream of celery soup from scratch.

Frozen meatballs may contain preservatives and additives, so if you have dietary restrictions or preferences, consider making your own homemade meatballs instead.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While not necessarily the most nutritious dish, this recipe does contain protein from the meatballs and a small amount of calcium from the milk and cream of celery soup. To make this recipe slightly healthier, consider serving it with a side of veggies or a fiber-rich grain like brown rice or quinoa.
