Instructions:

Making the Meatballs:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
4. Cook Meatballs: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Preparing the Noodle Bake:

1. Cook Noodles: Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Make Sauce: In the same skillet used for the meatballs, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
3. Add Cream and Flavorings: Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked noodles and meatballs to the skillet with the sauce. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
