Servings 6
Ingredients
- 6 oz Extra Wide Egg Noodles
- 2 tbsp Salted Butter
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 Yellow Onion, Diced
- 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp Umami Seasoning if you can't find this it is fine to omit it
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 2 Cups Beef Broth
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Dried Parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles until al dente. I like to add some beef bouillon to the water but salt works just as well.
- When they are finished, drain them and stir in the 2 tbsp of butter while they are still warm.
- While the noodles are cooking, brown the ground beef, onion and garlic in a skillet over medium high heat. When it is finished, do not drain the grease.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Umami seasoning, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the flour in and cook that down for 4-5 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly stir in the beef broth, stirring constantly. Once you have it all stirred in turn the heat to low and let it thicken up.
- Gently fold in the cooked noodles. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Keep leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. keep in mind that the noodles will soak up a lot of the sauce as they continue to sit. They will also break down quite a bit. This won't affect the taste, only the appearance.
Reheat on the stove in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
I do not recommend freezing as this changes the texture of the noodles too much. You could freeze the sauce and make the noodles just before serving!
