Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs and Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound frozen or homemade meatballs (beef or turkey)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Pasta
- 8 ounces egg noodles
Garnish
- Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes. If using frozen, cook according to package directions until heated through. Remove meatballs and set aside.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same pan, add diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1 more minute to release its aroma.
- Create the roux and sauce: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring constantly, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, then bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
- Simmer meatballs in sauce: Return the browned meatballs to the pan with the sauce. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to heat through and let flavors meld.
- Cook noodles: Meanwhile, prepare egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain well once cooked.
- Finish sauce: Remove the pan from heat and stir sour cream into the sauce for creaminess. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve: Plate the egg noodles and spoon the meatballs and sauce over them. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately for a warming meal.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
- Use homemade meatballs for extra flavor and control over ingredients.
- This dish can be made from scratch using ground beef shaped into mini meatballs.
