Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 15 oz canned tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.
Step 3
Add the diced onion to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sauce and toss everything together until the noodles are well coated. Add the butter and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 7
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy this satisfying, flavor-packed noodle dish with a side of crusty bread or a light salad!
