Step 3: Cook the Meatballs
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.
Place the meatballs in the pan, leaving some space between them. Cook for about 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
Remove the meatballs and set them aside.
Step 4: Cook the Egg Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 6–8 minutes) until tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 5: Make the Gravy
In the same skillet used for the meatballs, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes to create a roux. This helps thicken the sauce.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer until it starts to thicken.
Step 6: Add Cream and Seasoning
Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking for a few more minutes until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7: Combine Everything
Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet and let them simmer in the gravy for about 5 minutes so they absorb the flavor.
Add the cooked egg noodles and gently toss everything together until well coated in the sauce.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Tips for Best Results
- Use fresh breadcrumbs for softer meatballs.
