Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 skillet
  • 1 baking dish (9x13 inches)
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large pot, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
  • Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, whisk together the flour and beef broth until smooth. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • In a large baking dish, combine the cooked noodles and meatballs. Pour the sauce over the top and gently mix to combine.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
