Spiced Danish Meatballs, or Krydrede Frikadeller, are a traditional Danish dish often served with boiled potatoes and pickled red cabbage. The combination of flavors in these meatballs is truly unique, with warm and cozy spices like nutmeg, allspice, and cloves mixed with the savory flavors of onion and beef. These meatballs are perfect for a cozy night in or for impressing guests with a unique and delicious meal. While they can take a bit of time to prepare and cook, the end result is well worth it.

3.Add the all-purpose flour and ground beef to the mixture and use your hands to mix until well combined.
4.Shape the mixture into 2-inch balls.
5.In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add as many meatballs as can fit in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides.
