• 0.25 Cups onion, minced
• 10.75 Ounces (oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup

• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) nutmeg, ground
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
3. Add the ground beef, cream of wheat, minced onion, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
4. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
5. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.
6. Remove the meatballs from the oven and drain on paper towels if needed. Transfer them to a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish.
7. In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, condensed cream of mushroom soup, evaporated milk, nutmeg, garlic powder, and sage. Stir until smooth and well blended.
8. Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the casserole dish, ensuring they are evenly coated.
9. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 40 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.
10. Before serving, sprinkle the meatballs with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
