Swedish Meatball Noodle Bake
A cozy casserole with creamy sauce, tender meatballs, and noodles the whole table will want.
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 large egg, beaten
½ c. breadcrumbs
½ onion, grated
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp Kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 ½ c. egg noodles
1 c. beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-pint heavy cream
1 ½ c. Swiss cheese, grated
Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until just combined. Scoop and roll the mixture into meatballs, using about 1 ½ tablespoons for each one.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, then transfer them to a plate.
While the meatballs cook, boil the egg noodles in salted water for two minutes less than the package directions.
Pour the beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce into the empty skillet. Scrape up the browned bits from the bottom, then simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the noodles to the baking dish and top with the meatballs. Pour the sauce over everything, then sprinkle with the Swiss cheese.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then serve with parsley on top.
