Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
• ½ pound ground beef
• ½ pound ground pork
• 1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 large egg, slightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
• 1 ½ cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
• ¾ cup milk, divided
• 1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Step 2

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.

Step 3

Combine ground beef and pork, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup milk, egg, garlic, salt, pepper, and allspice in a large bowl; mix until just combined. Use a rounded 1-tablespoon measure to form mixture into meatballs. Place meatballs on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).

Step 5

While meatballs are baking, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour; cook, whisking constantly, for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn or brown flour. Gradually whisk in broth and remaining 1/4 cup milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and remove sauce from heat.

Step 6

While noodles are cooking, drain any grease from meatballs. Add meatballs to sauce; toss gently to coat. Place over low heat to keep warm. Add milk or water to thin sauce if too thick.

Step 7

Drain egg noodles and serve hot topped with sauce, meatballs, and parsley.
