Swedish Meatball Noodle Bake
A comforting and creamy casserole featuring tender Swedish-style meatballs, egg noodles, and a rich sauce, topped with melted Swiss cheese. Perfect for a cozy dinner that’s both hearty and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 onion grated
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, grated onion, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until just combined. Form into 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meatballs in batches, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- Boil egg noodles in salted water for 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet, combine beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape browned bits from the pan and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer cooked noodles in the prepared baking dish, top with meatballs, and pour sauce over everything. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for beef and use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
