Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups uncooked egg noodles Egg noodles work best for this recipe.
  • 1 pound lean ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped Chop finely for better incorporation.
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced Toasted garlic adds a depth of flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour Helps thicken the gravy.
  • 2 cups beef broth Can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook egg noodles in salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, brown ground beef and chopped onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Sprinkle flour into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring until smooth. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your liking. Add a splash more broth if needed to adjust consistency.
  6. Toss in the cooked noodles and mix well with the beef mixture until everything is coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

This dish keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat with a splash of broth or water to maintain creaminess. Sprinkle parmesan cheese or serve with garlic bread for an extra touch.
