Step 4: Boil the Noodles
While the meatballs are cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 6–8 minutes) until tender.
Drain the noodles and set them aside. You can toss them with a little butter to prevent sticking.
Step 5: Make the Creamy Sauce
In the same skillet used for the meatballs, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1–2 minutes to create a roux. This helps thicken the sauce.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Then add the milk or cream. Continue stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6: Combine Everything
Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet with the sauce. Let them simmer for about 5 minutes so they absorb the flavors.
Add the cooked noodles directly into the skillet or serve the meatballs and sauce over the noodles on a plate.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
This dish pairs beautifully with:
- Steamed vegetables
- A fresh green salad
- Warm bread or dinner rolls
Tips for the Best Amish Meatball Noodles
- Use fresh breadcrumbs for softer meatballs.
- Don’t skip the drippings—they add deep flavor to the sauce.
