A comforting and easy one-pot meal featuring tender ground beef, egg noodles, and a rich, creamy sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
8 ounces wide egg noodles
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil.
Add egg noodles, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika to the pot. Stir to combine.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the sauce is creamy and cheese is melted.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
