    Definitely trying this out! Swedish Meatballs is my all-time favorite and usually the only time I get to have it any more is buying it frozen at the store or going to an IKEA.

      Yup! You can try substituting with a balsamic vinegar or a little olive oil, or just skip it completely. It’s such a small amount it won’t make much difference in consistency. Let us know what you try!

    Cannot imagine Italian sausage in Swedish meatballs. Would that be like adding lutefisk to your linguini?
