Suizza Meatballs

Tired of the same old Swedish Meatballs? Try this version! It's a GREAT alternative.

Makes about 8 servings (4 meatballs each with about 2 c noodles)

Meatballs:
2 lb sage sausage (whatever brand you choose)
1 lb ground turkey

Sauce:
2 tbsp oil or melted butter
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
½ c water
1 ½ c milk
2 c Colby-jack cheese, shredded
1 ½ c swiss cheese

1 lb egg noodles cooked per instructions and drained

Directions for Meatballs:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
Mix meat together completely
Roll into 1” balls and place on a jelly roll or other lipped pan
Bake about 25 minutes or until nicely brown and cooked through.

Directions for Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, heat oil
Add flour while whisking briskly
Switch to a wooden spoon and stir over medium low heat until it smells nutty and begins to turn color
**SLOWLY** add water while whisking briskly to get rid of lumps
Let sit about 4-5 minutes, then slowly add milk while whisking briskly
Cook about 10 mins on medium low, stirring constantly
Add cheese about a ¼ c at a time, stirring constantly

Mix noodles and cheese sauce together
Add meatballs and stir to combine
