\nWho can resist the comforting flavors of Swedish meatballs? 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

Ingredients<\/p>\n

For the Meatballs:<\/p>\n

1 lb ground beef
\n\u00bd cup breadcrumbs
\n1 egg, whisked
\n\u00bd onion, finely chopped
\n\u00bc tsp nutmeg powder
\n\u00bd tsp garlic powder
\n1 tsp coarse salt
\n\u00bd tsp freshly ground black pepper
\n2 tbsp olive oil
\nFor the Casserole:<\/p>\n

2\u00bd cups egg noodles
\n1 cup beef broth
\n1 pint heavy cream
\n1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
\n1\u00bd cups grated Swiss cheese
\nSalt and pepper, to taste
\nFresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
\nInstructions<\/p>\n

Prep:<\/p>\n

Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 375\u00b0F and grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
\nBoil Noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook egg noodles for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest. Drain and set aside.
\nMaking the Meatballs:<\/p>\n

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, whisked egg, chopped onion, nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
\nShape Meatballs: Using a spoon, scoop and form small meatballs from the mixture.
\nBrown the Meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 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.
\nMaking the Sauce:<\/p>\n

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.
\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.
\nAssembling the Casserole:<\/p>\n

Layer the Noodles: Spread the cooked egg noodles evenly in the greased baking dish.
\nAdd Meatballs: Place the browned meatballs on top of the noodles.
\nPour the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the noodles and meatballs.
\nAdd Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese over the top.
\nBaking:<\/p>\n

Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
\nRest: Let the dish sit for 5 minutes before serving.
\nGarnish:<\/p>\n

Sprinkle the casserole with fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
\nEnjoy!<\/p>\n
