 Ingredients:
- 1 lb cooked Swedish meatballs (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 cups egg noodles, cooked and drained
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
 Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set it aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil or butter. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Create the Creamy Sauce:
Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet. Stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes, until everything is creamy and well combined.
4. Add the Noodles:
Gently fold in the cooked egg noodles. Mix until the noodles are fully coated with the sauce and meatballs are evenly distributed.
5. Bake:
Transfer everything to the prepared baking dish. For an extra cheesy top, sprinkle a little more Parmesan or shredded mozzarella. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
6. Garnish & Serve:
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
 Pro Tips:
- Use homemade meatballs with ground beef, breadcrumbs, and a dash of nutmeg for authentic Swedish flavor.
- For a twist, mix in mushrooms or peas before baking.
- Want a crispier top? Broil the dish for the last 2–3 minutes.
 What to Serve With:
Pair this creamy bake with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread for a complete meal. It also makes a fantastic leftover — if there’s any left!
