Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups dried egg noodles
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet or deep pan, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Season the beef mixture with paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley, stirring to evenly coat the meat.
Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef broth and milk, stirring constantly to combine and prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the dried egg noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on medium heat for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Once the noodles are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined, creating a creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Hamburger Helper Style Beef with Noodles!
