- Turn the heat down to low/medium, and add the milk. Stir everything together and bring it to a simmer.
- Once the onion mixture has come to a simmer, pour it from the pan into the bowl of panko bread crumbs and stir everything together. The mixture will be very thick. Set this bowl aside to cool.
- In a separate extra large bowl, add the eggs and beat them.
- Then add the ground beef, ground pork, and cooled onion mixture. Mix everything together.
- Form about 30 balls and then chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are done chilling, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat up the oil.
- Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches and cook them until they are browned on all sides, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the meatballs to a dish and set them aside.
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the directions on the box, drain it and add it to a 9 x 13 oven safe baking dish.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

- Bake the Swedish meatballs, pasta, and sauce in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Notes
For best results, use a mixture of beef and pork for the meatballs. Adjust the seasoning to your taste. You can substitute ground turkey for a lighter version.
