Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper until just combined. Form into 12 meatballs.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in 1 cup beef broth and 1/2 cup lingonberry jam. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until meatballs are cooked through and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Serve meatballs with sauce spooned over, alongside 4 crispy bread sticks for dipping.
