Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef 85/15 blend
1 medium onion diced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic minced
1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz, undrained
2 cups egg noodles uncooked
1½ cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Seasonings

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste

Add-Ins & Garnish

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables corn, peas, carrots blend
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes until no pink remains. Allow the meat to develop a slight crust before breaking it up further.
Reduce heat to medium and add the diced onion to the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and slightly golden at the edges. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the undrained diced tomatoes, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, add the uncooked egg noodles to the skillet, making sure they're submerged in the liquid. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the pasta is tender and the vegetables are heated through. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of broth.
If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top, cover, and let it melt for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

This dish is highly adaptable based on what you have in your pantry. For a healthier version, try using whole grain egg noodles, leaner beef, or doubling the vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
