Description

Flavored with spices like nutmeg and cloves, these meatballs are bathed in the creamiest sauce!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped and divided
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup beef broth
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • Freshly cooked egg noodles

Instructions

  1. Mix: Mix the ground beef, egg, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and one tbsp of parsley in a large bowl until well combined and divide the mixture into 20 meatballs.
  2. Brown: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the meatballs on all sides, then transfer them to a plate.
  3. Sauce: Add the beef broth, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and remaining tbsp of chopped parsley to the same skillet, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Simmer: Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked, then serve over freshly cooked egg noodles.

Notes

Regular breadcrumbs or finely crushed saltine crackers can be used instead of Panko. For a lighter version, replace sour cream with a mixture of half and half and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup can be used as substitutes for cream of chicken soup.
