Description
A comforting one-pan meal filled with rich, creamy beef and noodles, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (85/15)
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1–2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 7 minutes until very well browned. Drain any excess grease if needed.
- Add aromatics: Toss in the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–5 minutes. Then stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Build the base: Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir well to coat everything. Cook for about 1 minute.
- Add liquid and noodles: Pour in the beef broth and milk, stirring to combine. Add the dry egg noodles directly into the skillet.
- Simmer: Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
- Finish the sauce: Once the noodles are tender, reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and thyme.
- Rest briefly before serving: Stir in the butter and let the noodles sit for 2–3 minutes off the heat.
Notes
Make-ahead: Prepare the beef mixture the night before. This dish can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
