Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 1 lb frozen Swedish meatballs, thawed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- 1️⃣ Prepare the Noodles:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2️⃣ Make the Sauce:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the beef broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
3️⃣ Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, thawed Swedish meatballs, and the creamy sauce. Mix gently to coat everything evenly.
4️⃣ Assemble the Casserole:
Transfer the noodle and meatball mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.
5️⃣ Bake:
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6️⃣ Serve:
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
