A quick and easy beef and noodles recipe perfect for busy weeknights! With lean ground beef, egg noodles, and a savory gravy, this comforting meal is ready in just 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
  • 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

  1. Cook the noodles
    Start by boiling a salted pot of water and cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside when they’re done. I like to give them a little drizzle of olive oil so they don’t stick while I finish the beef.
  2. Brown the beef and onion
    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Break up the meat as it cooks, and keep an eye on the color—it should be nicely browned in about 10 minutes. If you’re using regular ground beef, drain most of the fat, but leave a little for flavor.
  3. Add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning
    Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about a minute until the garlic is fragrant. This step is crucial because it allows the flavors to bloom before adding the liquid.
  4. Make the roux
    Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture, stirring well. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to get rid of any raw flour taste. This is what will thicken your sauce, so don’t rush here!
  5. Pour in the beef broth
    Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to dissolve the flour and prevent lumps. Scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan (they add amazing flavor!). Let the mixture cook for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens to your liking.
  6. Combine the noodles and sauce
    Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are coated in the savory gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
    Serve the beef and noodles hot, with a sprinkle of parsley on top if you want a pop of color.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of beef broth or water to keep the noodles from drying out and microwave in short intervals, stirring in between. If you prefer reheating on the stovetop, just warm it over medium-low heat with a bit of extra broth until heated through.
