While school just ended and you’d think Summer would be here, that’s not quite the case. Here in Ohio in mid-June we’re still having some chilly days, mixed with lots of rain recently. I wanted to make something for dinner that didn’t requite much time and I had all these ingredients on hand. 

What makes this even better is that my family absolutely loves this dish!💪

I have to tell you that I keep the Lipton Recipe Secrets soup & dip mix on hand at all times, and all flavors! You’d be surprised at just how many thing you can do with them! I use the Beefy Onion mix in the sauce for these Swedish Meatballs because it gives it an extra flavor kick that I love. 

And because the sauce is what will really make this recipe stand out, it’s nice to have that extra flavor and a nice little secret ingredient!

Some Recipe Tips

• You can sub out Panko or even crushed crackers for the breadcrumbs if you like. They don’t have to be seasoned. I just like the extra bit of seasoning that breadcrumbs offer.
• If you’re watching calories, you can use reduced fat cream for the heavy cream. If you wish to use half & half just be careful this sauce doesn’t boil or it will cause it to separate. 
• You’ll be surprised at how much flavor the Lipton Recipe Secrets soup & dip mix add to the sauce! While it’s not required, I love the added kick of flavor and I hope you will as well. 

This dish is perfect for a chilly evening or when you strapped for time. While it’s ready in just 30-minutes, you can even mix up the groud beef mixture ahead of time you if you’d like. I have even made the mixture and stick it in the freezer!
