Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped, optional

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until tender according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors blend together.
  5. Add the butter and stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Return the cooked noodles to the skillet and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley if desired, then serve warm.

Notes

You can swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken, add peas or spinach for extra vegetables, or stir in a spoonful of sour cream at the end for a creamier finish. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of broth or a little extra butter so the noodles stay soft and flavorful.
