Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook the egg noodles in salted boiling water according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the noodles well and set aside.
- Brown Beef and Sauté Onions: While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish lean.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning into the beef mixture. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Make Gravy: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the beef mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously until smooth. Allow the gravy to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until it thickens, adding a splash more broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat them evenly with the beef gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while warm for a comforting meal.

- You can add vegetables like peas or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor.
- Use beef broth low in sodium for a healthier dish.
- Ensure you stir constantly when adding flour to avoid lumps in the gravy.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
