Method

1

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the meatballs. If using pre-made, heat them according to package directions. If making from scratch, cook them in a skillet with vegetable oil until browned and cooked through.

3

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.

4

Gradually whisk in milk and beef broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.

5

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

6

Stir in heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7

Remove from heat and gradually stir in Gruyère and Havarti cheese until melted and smooth.

8

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to combine.

9

Gently fold in the cooked mini Swedish meatballs.

10

Serve immediately, drizzled with extra creamy brown gravy (optional).

Enjoy!
