Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz wide egg noodles uncooked
  • 24 oz frozen homestyle meatballs fully cooked
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 cup low-sodium beef broth warm
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.75 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 0.5 tsp ground allspice
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley divided
  • 1.25 cup shredded Swiss-style cheese for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Boil noodles in salted water to just shy of al dente; drain well.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet; brown meatballs until golden and heated through.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet and cook onion until soft and translucent.
  • Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle in flour and whisk for one minute to form a roux.
  • Slowly whisk in broth, Worcestershire, and mustard; simmer until thick and glossy.
  • Remove from heat; whisk in sour cream, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss noodles, meatballs, and most parsley with the sauce until coated.
  • Spread mixture in the dish and sprinkle evenly with cheese.
  • Bake until bubbly and lightly browned, 18 to 22 minutes.
  • Rest five minutes, then garnish with remaining parsley and serve.

Notes

Variation: Stir in sautéed mushrooms or swap Swiss for mozzarella or provolone. Use half beef, half pork meatballs for richer flavor. Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days; reheat covered at 350°F until hot. Freeze up to 2 months.
