Ingredients
For the Noodles
- 6 oz egg noodles
For the Beef Mixture
- 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 pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: While the noodles cook, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Brown the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and fully browned, about 7 minutes. Remove excess grease if there is a lot; otherwise, leave a little for flavor.
- Season and Simmer: Stir in the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Next, add the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth, stirring everything until well combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your comforting beef and noodles.
