Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, milk, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
Step 2: Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook the meatballs for about 8-10 minutes, or until browned on all sides and cooked through.
Step 3: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. Prepare the lingonberry jam and creamy gravy according to your preferences. Serve the köttbullar with lingonberry jam, creamy gravy, and your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes or noodles.
