Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef 85/15
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2.5 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons flour

Instructions

  • Cook beef in a deep skillet over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, breaking it up, until browned and it reaches 160°F. Drain excess fat.
  • Add butter and onion; cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds, then flour for 1 minute.
  • Gradually stir in broth and milk, then add noodles. Simmer gently, stirring often, for about 8 minutes or the package time, until noodles are tender; add a little water if the skillet dries out.
  • Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, optional thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Rest for 3 minutes, then divide into four portions.

Notes

  • Refrigerate in shallow containers within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F); keep at 40°F or below and use within 3–4 days.
  • Reheat portions to 165°F throughout.
