These tender, spiced meatballs paired with a creamy sauce are the ultimate cozy meal. While traditionally served with mashed potatoes, I prefer to combine them with hearty egg noodles for a one-dish casserole that\u2019s both satisfying and easy to prepare. This recipe brings together the rich flavors of ground beef, nutmeg, and garlic, all baked in a savory sauce with melted Swiss cheese. Perfect for family dinners or a comforting night in, this Baked Noodles with Swedish Meatballs Casserole is sure to become a household favorite!<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>For the Meatballs:<\/p>\n<p>1 lb ground beef<br \/>\n\u00bd cup breadcrumbs<br \/>\n1 egg, whisked<br \/>\n\u00bd onion, finely chopped<br \/>\n\u00bc tsp nutmeg powder<br \/>\n\u00bd tsp garlic powder<br \/>\n1 tsp coarse salt<br \/>\n\u00bd tsp freshly ground black pepper<br \/>\n2 tbsp olive oil<br \/>\nFor the Casserole:<\/p>\n<p>2\u00bd cups egg noodles<br \/>\n1 cup beef broth<br \/>\n1 pint heavy cream<br \/>\n1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce<br \/>\n1\u00bd cups grated Swiss cheese<br \/>\nSalt and pepper, to taste<br \/>\nFresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)<br \/>\nInstructions<\/p>\n<p>Prep:<\/p>\n<p>Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 375\u00b0F and grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. (They don\u2019t need to be fully cooked; they will finish in the oven.) Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.<br \/>\nMaking the Sauce:<\/p>\n<p>Deglaze Pan: In the same skillet used for the meatballs, add the beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to release any bits stuck on the bottom of the pan.<br \/>\nThicken the Sauce: Simmer the sauce over medium heat for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.<br \/>\nAssembling the Casserole:<\/p>\n<p>Layer the Noodles: Spread the cooked egg noodles evenly in the greased baking dish.<br \/>\nAdd Meatballs: Place the browned meatballs on top of the noodles.<br \/>\nPour the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the noodles and meatballs.<br \/>\nAdd Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese over the top.<br \/>\nBaking:<\/p>\n<p>Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.<br \/>\nRest: Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving.<br \/>\nGarnish:<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle the casserole with fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor.<br \/>\nEnjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Serve the casserole hot and savor the creamy, savory goodness of Swedish meatballs with tender egg noodles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who can resist the comforting flavors of Swedish meatballs?
