Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 oz egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, allspice, nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, but don’t overwork the meat. Roll into 1-inch balls.
  2. Cook the meatballs: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Brown the meatballs on all sides until golden, about 6-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Make the sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in beef broth while whisking constantly, then add heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine everything: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer cooked noodles, meatballs, and pour the sauce over evenly. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Bake: Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbling and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Undercook noodles slightly before baking to prevent them from becoming mushy. Assemble the bake ahead and refrigerate overnight for convenience.
