Meatballs with parsley gravy were inspired by Ikeas Swedish meatballs. While they’re real good, very tasty and easy to make I cannot claim they are exactly like Ikeas.

I make a lot of meatballs in my home because the kids love it and not going to lie, I do too.  Something about meatballs thats so comforting to me.  Almost always, I make it the syrian meatball way but this time I was craving a good gravy.
