  • 1 tbsp Parsley

Crafting the Perfect Meatballs

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. This sets the stage for a perfect bake.
  2. Meatball Preparation: In a large bowl, meticulously combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, condensed cream of mushroom soup, Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, ground cumin, sea salt, organic ground white pepper, milk, Worcestershire sauce, onions, and celery. Hand mix until the concoction reaches a harmonious blend.
  3. Forming the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small, delectable meatballs and arrange them on a spacious baking sheet.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake the meatballs at 375 degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until they acquire a mouthwatering golden-brown hue. Once done, set them aside to let the flavors intensify.

Crafting the Culinary Symphony: Creamy Cheese Sauce and Sautéed Mushrooms

A Symphony of Cheese

  1. Cheese Sauce Preparation: In a large pan over medium to low heat, melt butter and add all-purpose flour and minced garlic. Allow this mixture to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, infusing the surroundings with a tantalizing aroma.
  2. Blending the Elixir: Add chicken stock, paprika, and buttermilk to the pan. Stir diligently until the sauce achieves a silky smooth consistency.
  3. Cheese Infusion: Introduce 3 cups of white cheddar cheese into the mix, stirring until the cheese melds seamlessly with the sauce. Keep the flame on low, maintaining the velvety texture.

Mushroom Magic

  1. Mushroom Sauté: In a separate pan, apply heat to olive oil and sauté the organic white sliced mushrooms for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl and generously drizzle black truffle oil over the mushrooms, ensuring a decadent flavor infusion.
  2. Reserving Mushroom Goodness: Set aside a handful of these delectable mushrooms to crown the dish before the final bake.

Bringing it All Together: The Culmination

  1. Boil the Noodles: Following the package instructions, boil the wide egg noodles to perfection. Drain them in a strainer and place them in a capacious bowl.
  2. Creamy Fusion: Cut the Greek yogurt cream cheese into small chunks and add it to the bowl of noodles. Pour in the rich cheese sauce and delicately fold the ingredients together.
  3. Meatball and Mushroom Fusion: Introduce 3/4 of the cooked meatballs and the majority of the sautéed mushrooms into the bowl, amalgamating them with the creamy pasta.
  4. Baking Brilliance: Transfer this amalgamation into a baking dish. Crown the ensemble with the remaining white cheddar shredded cheese, reserved meatballs, and the mushrooms set aside earlier.
  5. Final Bake: Allow the dish to bask in the oven’s warmth for an additional 10 minutes at 375 degrees. As a finishing touch, sprinkle parsley for a burst of freshness.
