Ingredients
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 cups uncooked egg noodles
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Prepare the egg noodles in accordance with package directions until just al dente, then set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion together until the meat is browned and fully cooked.
- Incorporate the minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 30 seconds until its aroma is released, then transfer the mixture to a separate plate. In the same skillet, melt the butter, stir in the paprika, and then gradually whisk in the flour, cooking for 30 seconds to form a roux.
- Slowly whisk in the beef broth, bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme, allowing the mixture to simmer and thicken, which should take approximately 1–2 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream until fully integrated. Return the beef and onion mixture to the skillet, fold in the cooked egg noodles, and combine thoroughly.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
