Meatballs in Gravy

Do you recall those TV dinners with the so called steak in gravy, mash potatoes, corn and a brownie cake (I use to like those as a kid-so not good for you!), well this is 10 times better with the same concept. These meatballs can be made ahead and then cooked the next day. PS: They are GREAT leftovers!!

Here is the recipe I followed, in addition making a flour paste - 1/2 cup of water and 1tbsp 1/2 of flour

History Lesson: 
Swedish meatballs do, in fact, have roots in Sweden. When Swedish immigrants settled in the Midwest region of the U.S., they continued to make köttbullar (meatballs), which were eventually enjoyed by other citizens. Today, there are a number of variations of Swedish meatballs on the market and in American recipe books, but they all share Swedish roots.
