Swedish Meatballs

1 pkg Farmrich Italian style frozen meatballs (you can use 1/2 a pkg if serving 2)
3/4 pkg egg noodles
1 tbs olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup flour
4 cups beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt & pepper

Prepare meatballs and noodles according to package, set aside.  Heat oil in skillet, sautée the onions & garlic until just about soft and transparent, adding a little more oil if needed. Push the onions to the side of the pan, creating a well in the middle. add the 2 tablespoons of butter. When melted, add the flour and whisk together. Whisk and cook until the flour turns brown, about 2-3 mins. It's ok to mix it all up w/ the onions. Add in the beef broth slowly, constantly mixing to ensure the flour does not leave clumps. Add the cream, mix and bring the sauce to a simmer until a desired consistency is reached. the longer you simmer, the thicker the sauce will get. Taste of seasoning and add salt & pepper as needed.

Add the meatballs in, heat through if needed, serve over noodles.  Enjoy!
