A meal sure to please even the pickiest eaters (in my house at least – lookin’ at you, tiniest human!), Swedish meatballs and noodles with the tastiest made-from-scratch sauce will be a hit in your house too. I bet it will even join your regular meal rotation, because not only is it delicious, but it’s also quick to make! As long as you have all the ingredients on-hand, it should only take about thirty minutes, which lets be real, is always a win on those hectic nights where time somehow just gets away from you. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, I’m very pleased to say this recipe makes enough for seconds and leftovers, depending on your family size, of course.
It takes a little extra work than just cracking open a can, but if you’re a regular here, you know I prefer to make all the things from scratch! What can I say, it’s a hobby, and it always pays off because the flavors are absolutely divine. As always, I give an easy step-by-step process in the instructions, so anyone can make it!
But first, some pictures, because yum!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 18 oz water
- 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- 1 Lipton dry onion soup packet
- 1.75 teaspoons beef bouillon powder
- 2 tablespoons A1 steak sauce
- 1 pound frozen meatballs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 16 oz wide egg noodles
Instructions
- Over medium heat, melt butter in a skillet, then add garlic.
- Add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, constantly whisking to avoid clumping or sticking and burning.
- Add milk, water, bouillon powders, onion soup packet, and steak sauce. Whisk to combine.
- Add frozen meatballs and stir to coat, then cover and continue to cook on low.
- Boil water in a large pot and add noodles. Cook to preferred doneness and drain.
- Once meatballs are heated through and sauce has thickened a bit, mix in sour cream. I also like to break the meatballs apart with a potato masher so they’re in smaller, easier to eat pieces for everyone, and they’re more evenly distributed, but that’s optional.
- Combine meat sauce and noodles, and serve.
