This easy beef and pasta recipe is perfect for chilly evenings, family dinners, or when craving something filling and flavorful, yet easy to make. Cozy, hearty, and packed with flavor, beef, and noodles are the ultimate comfort food that never goes out of style. It’s a simple, classic dish that reminds me of Beef Stroganoff or Creamy Chicken Stroganoff.

Why This Simple Recipe Works

It’s simple and just the thing to make for the whole family the next time you need an easy dinner on those busy weeknights.

This easy recipe is made with simple ingredients- all pantry staples you probably already have. 

An easy dish like this doesn’t need side dishes; the tender egg noodles with the beef and sauce is enough to fill you up, but it would go well with any of your favorite side dishes. I think it’s wonderful with some Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots, it would go great with a side of Crispy Onion Rings, and it would be nice to dip some No Knead Artisan Bread in the saucy gravy every couple of bites. 

Let’s Gather the Ingredients

• Egg noodles: You can use any pasta you prefer.
• Beef: Lean ground beef so you don’t make the sauce greasy
• Veggies: Diced medium onion and minced garlic cloves 
• Dairy: Butter and heavy cream
• Spices and herbs: paprika, bouillon cube, and fresh thyme
• Beef broth: Use regular or low-sodium.
• Worcestershire sauce
• Flour: Helps to thicken the sauce.

How to Make this Beef and Noodles Recipe

• Step 1: Add lean ground beef to the pan and break up into smaller chunks or pieces. Add diced onion and cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent. 
• Step 2: Add garlic to the pan and cook briefly, until fragrant. Once cooked, remove from pan. 

• Step 3: Melt butter in the pan. Add paprika and flour. Use a whisk to stir and cook briefly. 
• Step 4: Add beef broth, beef bouillon cube, and Worcestershire sauce to the sauce and whisk. Simmer the delicious broth mixture for a few minutes. 

• Step 5: Turn down the meat and stir in heavy cream with a whisk. Be sure to whisk well to avoid anything that may be trying to stick to the bottom of the pan. Add fresh thyme.
• Step 6: Use a wooden spoon to fold in tender beef mixture and egg noodles with the gravy-like sauce. Serve and enjoy the best Beef and Noodles for dinner!

Recipe Tips

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• If not using a cast iron skillet, you could use a large Dutch oven to make this. 
• If you don’t have heavy cream, you could use a little sour cream or some cream cheese to add just a touch of creaminess to this otherwise savory sauce.
