Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 ounces (softened) cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the egg noodles to the skillet and stir to combine. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked through.

Step 7

Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese, stirring until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and stir until melted and creamy.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the dish sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
