Low Sodium Swedish Meatballs

If you’re lucky, you have an Ikea store near you. You know it’s the Swedish store best known for its space-saving designs and most delicious food court where you can get a giant plate of Swedish meatballs in this wonderful cream sauce.

I have been craving these Swedish meatballs ever since I had to go low sodium. I’m so glad to finally take the time to create a low sodium version. I don’t know why it took me so long to make it – it’s so easy to make and it really tastes just like the Ikea version.

Mincing the onion, celery and parsley are key here. You want to mince them as small as you can so they incorporate into the meat and be chunky. Once you have sautéed the veggies let them cool a little before you mix them into the meat. I like to make the meatballs about the size of a Walnut. I figure the smaller the more I can eat! Yum!!

While the meatballs are cooking in the oven I make the sauce.

Now the sauce is where you either make a great Swedish meatball or you just have meatballs in a gravy sauce. I like to heat the beef broth with the cream cheese slowly in a saucepan allowing the two ingredients to fuse together. This requires lots of stirring but the effort is worth it. If you’re pressed for time you can use a blender for this process, just be careful blending as the hot liquid in a blender tends to blow the lid off and you will get it all over the place. I prefer to use an immersion blender, this way you have less clean up.

Let the sauce simmer over low heat until it thickens a little bit. You don’t want it really thick like the gravy you would have over biscuits but you want it thick like the gravy you would use on mashed potatoes.

Layout some cooked eggs noodles on a plate then top with the cooked meatballs and pour the gravy over the meatballs letting it absorb into the noodles. Top with some chopped parsley and you have a great tasting Swedish meatball dish.

Low-Sodium-Homemade-Italian-Sausage

Low Sodium Homemade Italian Sausage

2
The term sausage derives from salsus, meaning “salted” in Latin. Many years ago, about 3100BC, there were no refrigerators and salting meat was a common method of preservation.

Low sodium Italian sausage is very tasty and can be used in numerous ways I have listed below.

Stuffed eggplant is delicious. Linguini and peppers with Italian Sausage. Italian Sausage with Farfalle and Broccoli. Roasted Vegetables and Kale Soup with Italian Sausage makes a great dinner on cool nights. Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are a popular appetizer. Polenta with Italian Sausage and Vegetables make a wonderful meal. Make an Italian Sausage Tart. Have a bowl of filling Italian Sausage Chili. Use no salt pizza dough to make a fun Stromboli filled with Italian Sausage and fresh Mozzarella cheese. Make a comfort food meal of Stuffed Peppers with Italian Sausage. White Bean and Sausage Soup are a favorite. Use those many zucchinis from your garden when making Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats. I like to finish them in my air fryer to keep the kitchen cool. Grill some Italian Sausage and add a low sodium bun topped with grilled onion, peppers, and tomatoes. Make a Grilled Italian Sausage and Fennel Salad. Stuff some Sausage Calzones and enjoy. Baked Penne and Italian Sausage is a great meal. For cold winter nights, make some Italian Sausage Soup to warm you. Zuppa Toscana Soup is very popular. Sausage Tortellini Soup is very tasty, and I use small, dried tortellini that is very low in sodium. Baked Ziti is another great meal that is very filling. Try adding your Italian sausage to stuffing for your turkeys. Use a grilled Italian sausage patty on a low sodium bun, top with fresh Mozzarella cheese, a tomato slice, and some fresh basil and a couple of tablespoons of low sodium marinara sauce. Add your Italian sausage to your lasagna. Stir up some Italian sausage, onions, pepper and tomatoes and top rice or pasta with it. And finally, top your no salt pizza crust with some no-salt Italian Sausage and fresh Mozzarella cheese. Delicious!

We have so many choices to enjoy. I make my sausage into patties. You may choose to make links. Whichever is your choice, make them low sodium, add lots of other seasonings and enjoy!
