Ingredients:<\/p>\n
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup breadcrumbs<\/p>\n
1 egg<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp garlic powder<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp onion powder<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp nutmeg<\/p>\n
Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n
8 oz (about 2 cups) egg noodles (uncooked)<\/p>\n
2 tbsp butter<\/p>\n
2 cups beef broth<\/p>\n
1 cup heavy cream<\/p>\n
1 tbsp all-purpose flour<\/p>\n
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)<\/p>\n
Directions:<\/p>\n
Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Form into small meatballs.<\/p>\n
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove and set aside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cook the Pasta: While the meatballs are cooking, boil the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sprinkle in the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.<\/p>\n
Assemble the Casserole: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, meatballs, and creamy sauce. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.<\/p>\n
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.<\/p>\n
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.<\/p>\n
