Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and form into 1-inch meatballs.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with oil and brown the meatballs in batches for 4–5 minutes until golden. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened (5–7 minutes). Stir in flour to create a roux for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in beef broth; bring to a simmer. Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Gently include browned meatballs along with egg noodles or diced potatoes; simmer for 10–12 minutes until tender.
Stir in heavy cream; cook for an additional 2–3 minutes before serving.
