Ingredients

For the Meatballs:

• 500g ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

For the Noodles & Sauce:

• 250–300g egg noodles
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Meatball Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Mix gently using your hands or a spoon. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the meatballs tough. The mixture should be soft but hold together.

Step 2: Shape the Meatballs

Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs (about 2–3 cm in diameter). Try to keep them uniform so they cook evenly.

Place them on a plate or tray as you finish shaping.
