Mix until well combined, then form into small meatballs.

Brown meatballs in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove meatballs and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in sour cream and mix until smooth.

In a baking dish, layer meatballs, green beans, and pour sauce over the top.

Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and parsley.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
