Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic powder, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into meatballs.
- Place meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until cooked through.
- While meatballs bake, cook egg noodles until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add beef broth while whisking, then simmer until thickened.
- Stir sour cream and Worcestershire sauce into the gravy.
- In the baking dish, combine cooked noodles with the sauce. Add meatballs and gently stir to coat everything.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the noodles before baking to avoid mushy texture.
- You can use store-bought meatballs for a shortcut.
- Letting the casserole rest after baking helps the sauce thicken.
- Fresh herbs add a pop of color and freshness at the end.
