Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 85/15
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp butter softened
- fresh parsley chopped, for serving
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef, about 7-8 minutes, until no pink remains. Drain off the excess grease.
- Add the broth: Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Cook the noodles: Add the egg noodles directly to the pot and cook according to the package time, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the broth is absorbed.
- Thicken the gravy: Mash the butter and flour together into a paste, then stir it into the pot. Simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens into a gravy that coats the noodles.
- Serve: Top with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Mash the butter and flour into a smooth paste before stirring it in, that's what keeps the gravy lump-free.
