Heading into fall our thoughts turn to comfort food, that dish that fills every corner of your stomach and warms you to the core. And what type of dish represents all this? Casseroles! Today we’ve got a Swedish Meatball Casserole Recipe that fits the bill.
I know I had you at meatballs, seriously how in the world can you go wrong with any recipe that has meatballs in the ingredient list. But it gets even better, the casserole is super easy to make and the swedish meatball sauce is so simple anyone can make it with ease.
I changed the recipe ever so slightly from the original, I added a few more meatballs and didn’t add as much sour cream as what it called for. I’ve learned over the years that our family can be a little sensitive to the taste of sour cream so most recipes that call for it I’ll reduce the amount it calls for by 1/4 to 1/3 the amount.
I decided to use store bought meatballs to make this super easy but if you prefer to make your own we have a recipe for homemade meatballs as well.
So go ahead and include this in your family’s meal plans this fall. It’ll be in ours I can guarantee that.
