Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 oz egg noodles
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Cook egg noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to package directions until they reach al dente texture. Drain and set aside to keep warm.
- Sauté aromatics: In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Brown the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into pieces as it cooks. Continue cooking until the beef is browned and fully cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary, or leave a bit for added flavor.
- Season and combine sauce: Stir in salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Then, add the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth, mixing thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and stir until the noodles are well coated with the creamy beef mixture. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a leaner dish, choose lean ground beef with 90% lean or higher.
- If preferred, substitute cream of mushroom soup for a homemade mushroom sauce to reduce sodium.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
- You can add vegetables like peas or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
