Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook over medium heat until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to the onions, cooking for 1-2 more minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- While the broth is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the beef and onion mixture, stirring until the noodles are coated with the sauce.
- Sprinkle the shredded gruyere cheese over the top and cover the skillet. Allow the cheese to melt and become gooey, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional herbs or cheese if desired.
Notes
- For extra richness, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the broth before adding the noodles.
- If you can’t find gruyere cheese, Swiss cheese or a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan can be used as a substitute.
- This dish can also be made in the oven: transfer everything to a baking dish, top with cheese, and broil for 2-3 minutes until golden and bubbly.
