Cook tender beef and noodles together in one pot for a rich, creamy garlic butter sauce with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the pot with the beef and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Stir in the egg noodles. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Let the dish sit, covered, for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use a wide, heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even cooking of the noodles.
  • If the sauce seems too thick after adding the cream, add a splash more broth or milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  • You can substitute dried parsley for fresh if needed, but fresh adds better color.
