Ingredients That Make This Dish Special
Egg noodles are a classic choice because their hearty texture holds the gravy beautifully. Ground beef keeps the meal budget friendly while adding plenty of savory flavor. Lean beef, preferably around 90% lean, works especially well for this recipe.
Onion and garlic build a flavorful base for the beef. Sweet Vidalia onions are a preferred option, but regular yellow onions work just as well. Worcestershire sauce adds a deep, savory note that helps bring the flavors together.
Italian seasoning provides a convenient blend of dried herbs, including rosemary and thyme. A little flour thickens the gravy, while beef broth adds richness and helps create the comforting sauce that coats the noodles.

- This dish is designed to be a very simple, inexpensive, quick, and kid-friendly recipe that uses everyday (mostly pantry) ingredients, and so it’s very easy to jazz it up if you’re looking for something more than the base recipe. Readers have added veggies in (try mushrooms or green peppers), upped the herbs and seasonings, stirred in some sour cream or cream cheese at the end, and even added a splash of wine.
