SWEDISH MEATBALL NOODLE BAKE

Super comforting and incredibly delightful! This creamy Swedish Meatball Noodle Bake is another amazing casserole that you can easily and quickly make at any time! And a great addition to your menu rotation.

INGREDIENTS
MEATBALLS:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 large egg, beaten
½ c. breadcrumbs
½ onion, grated
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp Kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
CASSEROLE:
2 ½ c. egg noodles
1 c. beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-pint heavy cream
1 ½ c. Swiss cheese, grated
Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F. Using a nonstick spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2: Place the beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until just combined. Scoop and roll 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Step 3: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. To the hot oil, add the meatballs and cook until all sides are browned. To a plate, transfer the meatballs and set aside.

Step 4: In the meantime, cook the noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water for two minutes less than the package directions.

Step 5: Add the broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce to the now-empty skillet and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until a little thickened. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Then, take the skillet off the heat.

Step 6: Into the prepared baking dish, add the pasta and top with meatballs. Over the pasta and meatballs, evenly pour the sauce and sprinkle with cheese.

Step 7: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly. Remove from the oven when done and allow the casserole to sit for about 5 minutes.

Step 8: Serve and enjoy!

Prep Time 10 min

Cook Time 8 min

Total Time 18 min

Ingredients
2 lbs Catfish Nuggets

1 cup self-rising flour

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup hot sauce

2 medium-sized eggs

2 tsp your favorite cajun seasoning

2- 2 1/2 cup oil to fry with

Instructions
Make sure that the fish is nice and clean before anything else, then set it to the side.

In a large bowl add the self-rising flour, cornmeal, and cajun seasoning. Mix well.

In a separate bowl beat the two eggs, then add in the hot sauce, and mix.

Next, add the fish into the bowl with the hot sauce & egg mixture.

Make sure that the fish is nicely coated with the wet mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.

Once all of the fish is coated, let it sit for about 5 minutes so that the cornmeal & flour mixture can stick well.

Heat the oil between 350 – 375 F.

Once the oil is nice and hot, carefully add the fish into the skillet or deep fryer, but do not overcrowd.

Fry the fish until golden brown, then remove from the oil, and set on a paper towel-lined plate or cookie sheet.

CREAMY BAKED MAC AND CHEESE

Ingredients

1 lb. dry elbow macaroni pasta

½ cup salted butter

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk, at room temperature (I use 2%, but whole milk will also work well)

2 cups half-and-half, at room temperature

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

12 ounces cubed Velveeta cheese, at room temperature

3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided (at room temperature)

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon dry mustard

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Pinch of nutmeg

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta for 1 minute less than the package suggestion for al dente (about 8 minutes). Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

While the pasta boils, melt butter in a large Dutch oven (about 6-7 quarts) over medium heat. Add flour; cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Very gradually, whisk in the milk and half-and-half. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat.

Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce. Gradually add all of the Velveeta cheese and half of the cheddar cheese (1 ½ cups). Stir until the cheese is completely melted and smooth. Stir in the salt, dry mustard, pepper and nutmeg. Add cooked, drained pasta and stir to coat.

Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 ½ cups of grated cheddar on top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted on top and the sauce is bubbly.

For a crispier, browner top, pop the dish under the broiler for 2-5 minutes.

ENJOY!
