Today I have a lazy day recipe for you.  I’ve been buying the pre-cooked meatballs to save time and the mess.  They are pretty good.  So today giving you a simple recipe using the store bought meatballs and making Swedish meatballs with them.

Boil water and cook the egg noodles per package directions.

Heat butter in medium sauce pan over medium heat with meatballs for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour into the pan, stirring into the butter until absorbed and a roux is formed.

Add a splash Worcestershire and add your beef stock.  Add the nutmeg.
