Ingredients

16 oz egg noodles
2 lb ground beef
1 onion finely chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
2 cups heavy cream
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp dried thyme

salt and pepper to taste

fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Combine the ground beef and onion in the skillet. Cook over medium heat, breaking the beef up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the minced garlic, sautéing for 1 to 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked beef and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
Fold in the cooked egg noodles, tossing to coat them in the creamy sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
