Preparation Steps

  • Bake meatballs according to package directions. (Typically at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes).
  • Boil the egg noodles while the meatballs are baking, if using.
  • While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 30-60 seconds. Then, whisk in the stock until no lumps remain. Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk in the half and half and cook, stirring often, until thickened.
  • Once the meatballs are cooked through, add them to the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Serve hot with cooked egg noodles.

Notes

Store leftover meatballs in the sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
