Swedish Meatball Casserole with Noodles

This cozy  casserole brings together tender Swedish-style meatballs and egg noodles, all baked in a  creamy, flavorful sauce and topped with melted Swiss cheese.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make Meatballs
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, grated onion, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into meatballs using about 1 ½ tablespoons per ball.

Step 3: Brown Meatballs
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs until browned on all sides (they don’t need to be fully cooked). Transfer to a plate.

Step 4: Cook Noodles
Boil egg noodles in salted water for two minutes less than package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 5: Make Sauce
In the same skillet, add beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Step 6: Assemble and Bake
Place cooked noodles in the prepared baking dish, top with meatballs, and pour the sauce evenly over everything. Sprinkle with Swiss cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7: Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, garnish with chopped parsley, and enjoy!
