Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz. medium or wide egg noodles
  • 1 Tbsp. cooking oil
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, cut into 6 slices
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 12 cups beef broth, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 lb. precooked meatballs (thawed or still frozen)
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 12 tsp. Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot they were cooked in. Put lid in place until sauce is ready.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook while stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  3. Add the butter slices and stir until melted. Sprinkle the flour over top. Stir. Add 1 cup of the beef broth. Stir well. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and pepper. Cook while stirring until thickened.
  4. Stir in the meatballs. Keep over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 8-10 minutes for thawed meatballs, 15-18 minutes for frozen. The sauce will reduce a bit while they’re cooking. If it gets too thick and stodgy, stir in more of the beef broth, 1/4 cup at a time.
  5. Remove skillet from the heat. Stir in the sour cream. Taste sauce and add salt, pepper, and/or Worcestershire sauce to taste, if needed.
  6. Remove lid from noodles. Stir noodles. Divide noodles among dinner plates. Top with meatballs and sauce.
