IKEA Meatballs - are there any similar at supermarkets?

[Pinotpleasure]

We’ve just finished our last packet of IKEA (frozen) meatballs. Our nearest store is 48 miles away and it’s a bit far to go there!

I’ve attempted to make my own but they are nothing like IKEA’s :(

Does anyone know if there is a similar tasting product at one of the major supermarket stores? (Preferably all year round, unlike the seasonal offerings from Aldi/Lidl etc.).

We've had to resort to getting the frozen ones from Food Warehouse/Iceland. Tesco used to do some nice Swedish meatballs in the chill but haven't seen them for ages locally

I find the iceland swedish meatball a good alternative, but they are slightly salty

That's the ones we buy too

These ?

Scan meatballs were the closest and are a very common brand in Sweden, but I can’t find them anywhere any more. Sainsburys, Morrisons and Costco sell Smörgåsbord meatballs, which are good.

Farm foods bizarrely! They are actually pretty good and cook from frozen easily!

I get the iceland ones. They are a little smaller I think.

Sainsbury’s have a brand called Scana or Scania which are very similar.

Sorry, brand is Smorgasbord.

These from Morrisons, taste exactly like the IKEA ones. With peas, mash and gravy but hold the jam

Mixing evaporated milk and beef stock (Oxo) makes a good sauce for meatballs.

Oh gosh I have a craving for IKEA meatballs and the cream sauce now....

I like the Morrison’s ones. V. good.

The Morrison's ones look to be the same as the Iceland ones but in a different sized bag

When you made your own did you use the actual IKEA recipe?

I second the Asda link above

Farmfoods

Yes we have had them from Morrisons frozen.
Asda in the fridge near fresh meats and tesco. Kids love them, we have ikea 5 mins away but sometimes easier to get at supermarket.

I'm so glad I saw this! I wanted gluten free IKEA meatballs for my DD and some of the supermarket ones are!

That's so good, they make such an easy mid week tea with pasta and veg.

Veggie here - the Birds Eye Green Cuisine ones are pretty similar and meat free, just in case anyone's interested! I make the Ikea sauce from the recipe they published at the start of the pandemic and its so good, freezes well as well

Recommend the Smorgasbord ones they sell at Sainburys etc. Our family come to blows over them when it comes to fighting the food up.

Autocorrect is a belligerent as my kids, it seems.

Thank you, everyone! I’m lucky in that I have a wide range of supermarkets to choose from (with the exception of Farm Foods) so I will definitely try some of the meatballs from the stores listed above.

We usually have ours with spaghetti and Lloyd Grossman’s tomato and basil sauce, but I’ve just found a jar of IKEA Lingonberry jam which is expiring soon so I will cook up some meatballs Swedish style with mashed potatoes. Someone posted that they make a gravy with evaporated milk and Oxo…not sure about that! I had no idea that there is/was an IKEA gravy recipe! Off to look at their website now and hope it’s there!
