So, as Autumn is upon us my crockpot is now is full gear. Churning out some delicious and cozy meals for the fam on some of the very cool nights we’ve been enjoying. Here is a super easy crockpot recipe that I made after we had spent last weekend
on a fun but always exhausting trip to Ikea…cause we bring all 3 kidlets and think they’ll behave perfectly as we wander around thinking we can be there for hours on end. Hah, yeah maybe B.C. (Before Children!)
I just love Ikea and we always have to have a little something from their cafeteria/restaurant whenever we go partly to tame the kids but mostly because I always want the Swedish Meatballs and Lignonberries..YUM! So this meal was my
faux-Ikea dinner since I always mean to buy their frozen Swedish Meatballs to bring home but ALWAYS seem to forget since every time we get to the checkout it seems like we are rushing out of there for fear that the kids (or more importantly us
parents) will have a meltdown!

So here we have it, Crockpot Swedish Meatballs! The ingredient list is few but the taste is devine, not quite the Ikea stand-out but close enough for our hungry family’s tastes and an Ikea that is an hour away!
Enjoy!!

Happy Weekend!!
Yum. Definitely will try these. BTW-if you’re interested, I have posted 100 posts (the crowd goes wild…) and am having a giveaway! Thanks for being an awesome blogger (mom, cook, crafter, etc). LOVING your blog.
I will be making this ASAP! Delish!
Yum! What a cozy fall meal! My mom makes something similar and just mixes a few different types of canned brown gravy (because individually she thinks they’re gross, but together they’re ok?) and voila! Dinner!
Looks very yummy! I will be trying this soon!
Yum! I will definitely be trying this. Thanks for the recipe!
PS Does your ikea have a play area for kids?
PPS how do you pronounce “lignonberry”?
Making this today – thank you! 🙂
I made these today and they. are. AWESOME!!! I must admit I was skeptical; I hate celery and couldn’t imagine how the cream of celery would taste but these are really good. And they taste exactly like Ikea’s. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Do you add the cans of water along w/the soups?
Do you add the water as well with the soups? chelle005@gmail.com
I have made this a few times, and it’s always a HUGE hit! We love it in our house. We don’t add water with the soups! It is sooo good, we serve it with egg noodles. I would reccomend this to anyone! =)
This is a delicious recipe! I must have a crock pot that runs high as far as temperature, though, because it only takes mine about 3 – 4 hours on low.
I just put this in the crock pot now! I substituted the garlic cloves for powder :/! Hopefully it turns out okay!!
I made these for a wedding reception and they were a HUGE hit! I bought beef to slice super thin and will try it in the same sauce in the crock pot tomorrow!
Don’t ask me why but the Great Value Walmart brand meat balls are the best! I have used many brands but those are so yummy! Costco is second best. This recipe is to die for!
I am so glad that you like it!!!!

I got this recipe from a friend quite a few years ago and really like it. My family likes a lot of gravy so I also add a can of cream of mushroom. I serve it with canned cranberries. It’s very good and I have mentally thanked you every time I make it! It is easy comfort food that is economical!
Commenting incase anyone has the same questions as me……I just looked at the photo before I went to the store, didn’t read the instructions. I didn’t have the mushrooms or garlic, so I used maybe 1/4 cup of minced onion, a splash of merlot and garlic salt instead of regular salt. I also had the family sized bag of meatballs and didn’t know how much to use since there isn’t any poundage or ounces listed…I just guessed and eyeballed about 1/12 pounds. I cooked on low for 7 hours and served over instant mashed potatoes . Really good.
I’m sure it doesn’t have to be a crock pot right??
Yes! Just adjust cook times accordingly!
