Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Brown the Meat
- Heat your large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef to the pan today. Cook until the meat is fully browned and crumbled, then drain off any excess fat carefully.
Sauté the Vegetables
- Add the diced onion to the skillet with the beef and cook until it is soft. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute until it smells very fragrant and delicious today.
Add Liquid and Sauce
- Pour the beef broth, tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce into your pan with the cooked meat mixture. Bring everything to a steady simmer and stir well to combine all those bold, savory flavors today.
Cook the Noodles
- Add your dry egg noodles into the simmering liquid, ensuring they are mostly covered by the broth. Cover your skillet and cook for about ten minutes until the noodles are tender and cooked.
Stir in Creaminess
- Remove the lid and stir in your sour cream to create a rich, smooth and creamy sauce. This step makes the entire dish feel much more indulgent and satisfying for every single hungry person.
Melt the Cheese
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the noodle mixture in your hot skillet. Cover the pan again for two minutes just until the cheese is perfectly melted and very bubbly.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle fresh, chopped parsley over the top for a bright finish and a pop of green color. Serve the beef noodle skillet immediately while it is still hot, bubbly and incredibly cheesy for everyone.
Notes
You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef if you prefer a slightly leaner meat option tonight. Add a cup of frozen peas or corn to the skillet to sneak in more healthy vegetables today.
Use smoked paprika instead of plain pepper to give the sauce a deep, delicious and woody flavor. If you love spice, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes with your onions and garlic.
Make sure you do not overcook your egg noodles, so they keep a nice, firm, and chewy texture. You can add a splash of soy sauce if you want a deeper, more savory saltiness today.
