Description

A one-pan ground beef meal made with egg noodles cooked directly in a creamy, savory sauce. This version uses simple ingredients and is designed to be dependable, filling, and easy to make at the end of a long day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1–2 tbsp flour
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef for about 7 minutes until very well browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  2. Add aromatics: Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  3. Build the base: Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for about 1 minute.
  4. Add liquid and noodles: Pour in the beef broth and milk, stirring to combine. Add the dry egg noodles directly into the skillet.
  5. Simmer: Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are just barely tender and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Finish the sauce: Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and thyme. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Rest briefly before serving: Stir in the butter and let the noodles sit for 2–3 minutes off the heat.

Notes

Be sure to brown the ground beef thoroughly to develop flavor. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or broth. This dish is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
