Servings 4 servings
Calories 471kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (lean, 85-93%)
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 3 tsp minced garlic (or 3 cloves of garlic, chopped)
- 3 TBS Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3 1/2 cups beef broth (save 1/2 cup for adding back at the end if needed)
- 3 cups egg noodles (uncooked)
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, over medium to medium-high heat, cook ground beef and onion until fully cooked. Leave the fat in the pan.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over beef mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
- Pour in beef broth and add uncooked egg noodles. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until noodles are cooked and sauce thickens. If it's too thick, add remaining beef broth to thin it out.
- Beef and noodles will keep in an airtight container for 3-5 days in the fridge.
Notes
- Don't over cook the egg noodles. They'll continue to soften when removed from heat.
- Add veggies. During the last 5 minutes of simmering, stir in frozen peas or chopped mushrooms if desired.
- Leftovers: This meal will thickens as it sits. To reheat, warm on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of broth or water to loosen.
