Easy Beef and Noodles (Printable Version)
Ground beef, noodles, and onion in comforting gravy—quick, simple, and perfect for weeknight dinners.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
200 grams uncooked egg noodles
02 -
450 grams lean ground beef
03 -
1 medium onion, finely chopped
04 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
05 -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
06 -
0.25 teaspoon Italian seasoning
07 -
30 grams all-purpose flour
08 -
475 milliliters beef broth
09 -
Salt, to taste
10 -
Black pepper, to taste
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef with chopped onion, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until beef is thoroughly browned, approximately 10 minutes. If not using lean beef, drain excess fat, leaving about two tablespoons in the pan.
03 -
Reduce the heat to medium. Incorporate minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to release flavors.
04 -
Sprinkle flour over beef mixture. Stir continuously and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
05 -
Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring well to dissolve flour and scrape any caramelized bits from the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens to desired consistency. Add more broth as needed if the mixture becomes too thick.
06 -
Add drained egg noodles to the skillet with the beef mixture. Toss to thoroughly coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Incorporate vegetables such as mushrooms or bell peppers for added nutrition and flavor, or stir in sour cream for extra creaminess.
