Instructions

Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
Brown Beef and Sauté Onions: While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onions to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Make Gravy: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the beef mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to form a smooth gravy. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little more broth to loosen it up.
Combine and Serve: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat the noodles in the beef gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

You can substitute egg noodles with wide pasta or any pasta of your choice.
For a richer flavor, use homemade beef broth.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, allow it to simmer a little longer before adding noodles.
Add vegetables like peas or mushrooms to enhance the dish.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
