Step 3: Cook the Noodles and Serve
- About 20 minutes before the beef is done, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until tender.
- Drain the noodles and spoon the beef mixture over the top, letting the rich gravy coat every strand for the ultimate comfort meal.
Tips & Serving Suggestions
- Optional add-ins: Stir in a splash of red wine, Worcestershire sauce, or fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for an extra layer of flavor.
- Thicker gravy: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Serving ideas: Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles for a hearty dinner. Add a side of steamed green beans or roasted carrots to round out the meal.
Storage & Reheating
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the gravy if needed.
- This dish also freezes beautifully — simply cool completely, store in freezer-safe containers, and reheat when ready to enjoy.
