Ikea Meatballs and Gravy

 3 TBS butter

3 TBS flour

2 Cups beef or chicken broth

1/2 Cup heavy cream

 

Add butter into skillet and melt.  Add flour and stir in.  Cook for 1 minute.  While mixing add about 1/4 of the beef broth.  It will thicken quickly.  Then gradually add remaining beef broth stirring as you go.  Switch to whisk if required to make it lump free.  When the liquid is simmering, add meatballs.  Simmer for 8-10 minutes.  Add cream and simmer for a further 2 minutes then remove from stove.  Serve over mashed potatoes.  For a truly authentic experience, add a dollop of ligonberry jam on the side.
