## **Instructions**
### **Step 1: Prepare the Meatballs**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let them soak for a minute.
2. Add the ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork the mixture.
3. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
4. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
### **Step 2: Make the Sauce**
1. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
2. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
3. Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes.
4. Add the meatballs back into the skillet and simmer for 10 more minutes, allowing them to soak up all the delicious flavors.
### **Step 3: Cook the Noodles & Serve**
1. While the sauce simmers, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Serve the Swedish meatballs over the noodles, spooning plenty of creamy sauce on top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
