Easy Skillet Swedish Meatballs by The Defined Dish

I know Swedish Meatballs are everyone’s favorite IKEA menu item, but you can also make them at home for the perfect savory and comforting weeknight dinner. The true secret is in the sauce: an outstanding creamy, rich gravy with a unique combination of allspice and nutmeg that really sets these apart. My entire family adores meatballs, and since these keep well in the fridge, they’re the perfect meal prep for the week ahead.

Classic French Onion Soup - Slow Cooker

There is nothing like a classic French onion soup. I like the idea that I can control the salt, it is made in the slow cooker and you can add your favorite cheese topping. You can also choose if you want beef or chicken broth. You can definitely change up the taste of this classic recipe.

1/4 cup butter

3 large yellow onions, sliced

1 cup dry white wine

3 cans (about 14 ounces each) beef or chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 loaf of French bread, sliced and toasted

4 ounces shredded Swiss cheese

Fresh thyme for garnish

Melt butter in large skillet over high heat. Add onions; cook and stir 15 minutes or until onions are soft and lightly browned. Stir in wine.

Combine onion mixture, beef broth, thyme, salt and Worcestershire in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Lale soup into 4 individual bowls; top with bread slice and cheese. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.

Makes 4 servings
