The difference between Swedish meatballs and Norwegian meatballs is the name. Of course there was the time just after Dottie and I were married she decided to make Italian speghetti and meatballs for the first time. The problem was that she put minced onions into the meatballs which was fine for Swedish style meatballs but a no no for Italian meatballs. Hope you will try this recipe and enjoy it!
