IKEA Style Meatballs

Directions

1. 1

   Cut the bread into slices and blend into a fine crumb in a food processor. Set aside.

2. 2

   Place the beef & pork mince in a mixing bowl and season with onion granules, garlic, salt, pepper and fresh parsley.

3. 3

   Pour the breadcrumbs into the mixing bowl and crack one egg into the mince. Mix well until combined and use your hands to mould 20 equally sized meatballs.

4. 4

   Gently fry in a frying pan, or grill in the air fryer for a few minutes until the meatballs are browned but not cooked through. Place the meatballs directly into the slow cooker pan.

5. 5

   Pour in the beef stock, cornflour (mixed with a little water to form a slurry) single cream and Worcestershire sauce.

6. 6

   Season with a little black pepper and mustard. Mix well with a wooden spoon until combined.

7. 7

   Place a few sprigs of fresh dill on top of the meatballs. Cover with lid and cook on the low setting for 3 hours.

8. 8

   Once the time is up, remove the slow cooker lid and dill sprigs, stir and leave uncovered on the high setting for a further hour to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

9. 9

   Serve over mashed potatoes with petits pois and enjoy!
