Here's the recipe...you just HAVE to try it!

Ingredients:

2 - 12oz tins of (25% less sodium) SPAM®
1 - cup seasoned bread crumbs

2 - eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup minced onions
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon beef bouillon granule
10-1/2 ounces canned cream of mushroom soup
6-1/2 ounce can of mushrooms (stems and pieces) drained
8 ounces heavy whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
8 ounces wide egg noodles

Directions for Swedish SPAM®-balls:

Using a Paderno® double melon balling tool, scoop out as many balls of SPAM® as possible from the two tins.  Use the 3/4 teaspoon side of the dbl tool.  Place these balls into a bowl temporarily.  Cut up the remaining pieces of SPAM® for use in a sandwich spread (for later preparation).

Place the SPAM® balls in a gallon size zipper bag.  Add salt and pepper. 

In a small bowl; break the two eggs and add the milk - whisking the two together thoroughly. 

Add the egg mixture to the plastic bag with the balls.   

Knead the balls thoroughly but gently for a minute. Dump in the breadcrumbs and gently knead another minutes with your hands.

Place a 12-14 inch non-stick skillet on medium heat.  Add the SPAM® balls and cover 2 minutes. 

Tumble  the balls gently on the heated surface of the pan every minute, carefully separating them with a non-metallic implement so as not to scratch the pan's coating.  Add no butter, margarine or oil in this process.  Keep the balls relatively dry so as to maintain their coating of breadcrumbs while frying to a light brown finish.  17 minutes total cooking time.  Collect the balls into a bowl for later.

Directions for Swedish sauce:

Total Time: 20 mins

1. Sauté onion in olive oil until softened.

2. Stir in garlic and mushrooms, cook until heated through.

3. Add the can of mushroom soup and a half can of water.

4. Stir well then add in the chicken or beef flavor base, cream, paprika, onion powder and parsley flakes.   Ahhh...here comes that golden brown color...Just lovely!

5. Stir well and then stir in the sour cream.

6. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

7. Add hot cooked SPAM®-balls and let simmer for five minutes.

In a medium sized kettle; heat water on the stove for 1/2 bag (8 ounces) of wide egg noodles.
 

Plate the noodles when cooked, spooning a healthy portion of the Swedish SPAM®-balls and sauce onto the top.  Salt/pepper to taste.  Add scrumptious authentic Felix® Swedish Lingonberries on the side for eating along with each tasty morsel. 
 
 

 

ENJOY!
