Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your skillet over medium heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, grated onion, Italian breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2
Shape the meat mixture into one-inch meatballs. This should yield approximately 24 meatballs.
3
Spray the skillet with non-stick vegetable spray and place the meatballs in the skillet. Cook them over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Once browned, carefully remove the meatballs and let them drain on paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth and all-purpose flour until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously until it thickens, which should take around 5 minutes.
5
Once the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low and stir in the Greek yogurt until well combined. Make sure the mixture is fully integrated and creamy.
6
Gently add the browned meatballs back into the skillet along with the cooked egg noodles. Toss everything together until the noodles and meatballs are thoroughly coated in the creamy sauce.
7
Cook everything together for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
8
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for flair and added freshness.
