Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces (softened) cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) chopped parsley
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Add the egg noodles to the skillet and stir to combine. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked through.
Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese, stirring until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and stir until melted and creamy.
Remove from heat and let the dish sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
