Easy Beef and Noodles

beef and noodles recipe

This easy beef and noodles recipe is a homestyle favorite! It’s made in 30 minutes with pantry staples, and the rich gravy is a comforting treat you’ll crave again and again.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 23 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Boil a salted pot of water for the egg noodles and cook according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, add the ground beef and onion to a skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up as you go along, until it's nicely browned (about 10 minutes). Don't drain the fat unless you're not using lean ground beef (then drain a bit but still leave at least a couple tablespoons of it in the pan).
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning, and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring often (this cooks the raw flour taste out).
  5. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring until the flour has dissolved and scraping any stuck-on bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes (stir occasionally) or until the gravy has thickened to your liking. If it gets too thick, add in a splash more beef broth.
  7. Drain the cooked egg noodles, add them to the skillet, and toss with the beef mixture. Season with salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately.
