Step 3: Prepare the Cream Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and whisk in flour to create a roux.
- Slowly pour in beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Stir in heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Simmer the Meatballs in Sauce
- Return the browned meatballs to the skillet with the sauce.
- Cover and let them simmer gently for 10–12 minutes until fully cooked through.
- Stir occasionally to coat them in the rich gravy.
Step 5: Cook the Egg Noodles
- While the meatballs simmer, cook egg noodles in salted boiling water according to package instructions.
- Drain and toss with butter for extra richness.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Spoon the buttery egg noodles onto plates.
- Generously ladle Swedish meatballs and creamy sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
- Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors.
Tips for Success
- For extra flavor: Use a 50/50 mix of ground beef and pork.
- Make-ahead option: Freeze uncooked meatballs on a tray, then store in freezer bags for quick weeknight meals.
- Thicker sauce: Add an extra tablespoon of flour if you prefer a more gravy-like consistency.
- Side pairings: Serve with lingonberry jam for an authentic Swedish touch, or add a simple green salad for balance.
