THE CLAIM
What's a trip to IKEA without a stop at their cafe for some of their famous Swedish meatballs? 12Tomatoes believes they have a recipe that is (AND WE QUOTE) "so close (if not better!) than the originals" that it will save you a trip to IKEA. Bold words, 12Tomatoes! Guinea Pig Squad is on the case! Click the link in the photo caption for quote, recipe and photo source.

THE TEST
Guinea Pig Kimberley was our Tester for this recipe (perhaps with a little encouragement from her husband). She served it to her family, which included a toddler and a picky eater. The result? Everyone LOVED it!
But it's important to recognize that beauty takes time. Kimberley comments, "From start to finish it took about an hour to make and I served with mashed potatoes and peas." She also noted that the website doesn't list the ingredients in order of use, so make sure to keep an eye out for that.
And calm down, IKEA Purists, we hear you about the Ligonberry sauce. While this recipe doesn't mention it, it's something sold at most specialty grocery stores (and Google, because Google has everything).
CONCLUSION
A good substitute for the days when you just don't have 8 hours to spend at IKEA.
