Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
12 ounces egg noodles, cooked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Form the mixture into small meatballs.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth.
Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and nutmeg.
Return meatballs to the skillet.
Add cooked egg noodles to the skillet and stir to combine with the meatballs and sauce.
Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of allspice to the meatball mixture.
If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a little more beef broth or milk.
Serve hot with a side of green beans or a simple salad.
