Ingredients
2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (non-alcoholic)
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup flour
2 cups beef broth
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Boil a salted pot of water for the egg noodles and cook according to package directions.
Meanwhile, add the ground beef and onion to a skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up as you go along, until it’s nicely browned (about 10 minutes). Don’t drain the fat unless you’re not using lean ground beef.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning, and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring until the flour has dissolved and scraping any stuck-on bits from the bottom of the pan.
Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes (stir occasionally) or until the gravy has thickened to your liking. If it gets too thick, add in a splash more beef broth.
Drain the cooked egg noodles, add them to the skillet, and toss with the beef mixture. Season with salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately.
Notes
For a healthier twist, try using whole wheat flour for the gravy.
Add a splash of non-alcoholic red wine vinegar for an extra depth of flavor.
