Noodles and meatballs (not necessarily together) are staple dinner ingredients in our household. If I had a dollar for every time my kids have requested noodles for dinner… Well… I’d have a lot of dollars, lol!
Most of the time, I’ll make noodles with butter and parmesan, but sometimes I get creative and add chicken, veggies or in today’s case, meatballs!
Our go-to brand for noodles is theNo Yolks Broad Noodles. The No Yolks Noodles cook up in a flash and can be used in just about any type of recipe; they’re great in soups, casseroles,stroganoff and of course on their own with butter and parmesan.
No Yolks come in different sizes so they’re great in almost any recipe. (Broad, Extra Broad, Fine, Kluski, Dumplings, and even Stir-Fry – which I can’t wait to try out). They’re made with egg whites which makes the noodles low in cholesterol, fat and sodium.

Description
This Shortcut One Pot Meatball Stroganoff recipe is a creamy, delicious and comforting dish that the family will devour and will please even the pickiest of eaters!
Ingredients
Scale
3 to 4 tbs butter
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup diced onions
3 cups beef broth
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian spice blend
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 cups No Yolks noodles
3/4 cup of cream
1/2 cup sour cream
Meatballs, (the amount you desire – see tips above) defrosted and warmed up in the microwave.
optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Add butter to a large skillet and heat skilletover med-high highheat. Add mushrooms and onions and cook ’til browned.
Add beef broth, garlic, Italian spice blend, salt, pepper and noodles to skillet. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are al dente. (Still at med-high heat.)
Stir cream into the skillet, add meatballs. Reduce heat to med-low. Cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes until liquid thickens a bit.
Gently stir in sour cream and heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If you’re a mushroom lover – definitely double the mushrooms.
Sauce will thicken more as it cools.
For more sauce, you can add more cream.
If you use half-n-half instead of cream, you may end up needing to add a little bit of a cornstarch slurry for a thicker sauce.
The number of meatballs needed will vary based on thekind you use. My package said 5 = one serving. (So I cooked6 per person = 24 meatballs.)

Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative to the traditionally used sour cream in beef stroganoff recipes, so you can be confident that your family is getting a satisfying, healthy meal. Fresh dill and paprika will provide a sweet, slightly smoky garnish to top off the dish.
Quartered mushrooms and a combination of pearl onions and shallots give the finished dish a more interesting texture and flavor. Adding gelatin to the chicken stock gives it more body, letting the sauce come together more tightly to coat the meat and noodles.
Stroganoff sauce has mushrooms, while Swedish meatball sauce does not. Another key difference is the seasoning for each sauce. Swedish meatballs are typically seasoned with spices like nutmeg and ginger, while Stroganoff sauce includes paprika, onion powder, and thyme.
The sauce for Swedish Meatballs is a creamy gravy that is made with butter, beef broth/stock, thickened with flour and made creamy with cream. But the most important flavour for the a really good creamy gravy is the pan drippings after searing the meatballs.
And, as it is made of cream, it is not safe for a dairy-free diet or those who are vegan. Luckily, there are other ingredients you can use to substitute for sour cream, from plain yogurt to evaporated milk to cottage cheese.
Sauté button mushrooms, then brown the beef in the same pan and deglaze the pan with beef broth. For more complexity, prepare a sauce with onion, tomato paste, brown sugar, chicken broth, and wine.
What is stroganoff sauce made of? Stroganoff sauce is a sour cream gravy made with beef broth that's thickened with flour. It's flavoured with mustard and has mushrooms in it. I love the pale brown creamy colour against the deep golden brown seared beef!
There isn't one best cut for beef stroganoff, but you want to stick to tender, well-marbled cuts. Popular choices include boneless ribeye, sirloin, and tenderloin.
Called polpettes, Italian meatballs are often served sauceless and are much smaller than the meatballs you're probably used to. Traditional Italian meatballs typically contain equal portions of meat and soaked bread, and other additions such as egg and vegetables.
While both varieties include ingredients such as grated onion and panade (milk-soaked bread) or bread crumbs, plus the usual salt and pepper, Swedish meatballs traditionally use spices like allspice, nutmeg, white pepper, and sometimes ground ginger as flavoring.
ANSWER: Usually when meatballs fall apart, it's the binder that is the problem. Most meatball recipes call for using bread crumbs and eggs. But too much bread crumbs make them too loose, and not enough bread crumbs won't help them hold together either.
Iconic Swedish cream sauce: Melt 40g of butter in a pan. Whisk in 40g of plain flour and stir for 2 mins. Add 300ml of bouillon (or consommé) and continue to stir. Add 150ml double cream, 2 tsp of soy sauce and 1 tsp of (Dijon) mustard.
Italian Meatballs vs Swedish Meatballs: Swedish Meatballs are typically smaller in size than Italian meatballs and they are usually made with a 50-50 ratio of ground pork and ground beef.
Whole milk yogurt works best and brings a big reduction in fat, plus more protein and calcium. Baked goods made with yogurt as a straight substitute for sour cream will turn out less tender, lighter in texture and have a tangier, less buttery flavor.
Fresh, spreadable cheeses like cream cheese and mascarpone generally work well as 1:1 substitutes for sour cream in baking. Be sure to let them warm up to room temperature before using, and thin them out slightly by stirring in milk or lemon juice to get a similar texture.
If you run out, you can make a sour cream substitute with no cooking and very little effort. All you need is three ingredients (milk, distilled white vinegar, and heavy cream) and 24-48 hours to let it ferment and thicken.
If you find yourself with an empty or unusable container of sour cream, you can always make some from scratch using 1 cup of heavy cream combined with a teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. The process will mimic the creation of sour cream in texture, though many people feel like the taste is not quite the same.
