Total time: | 30 minutes |

Ingredients:
500g uncooked egg noodles
500g pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion chopped
3-4 mushrooms, sliced
2-3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup flour
2 cups beef broth
Salt & pepper to taste
Method:
Boil a salted pot of water for the egg noodles, and cook according to package directions. Meanwhile, add the ground beef, mushrooms, and onion to a large frying pan. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up as you go along, until it’s nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Don’t drain the fat, unless you’re not using lean ground beef, then drain a bit but still leave at least a couple tablespoons of it in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring often, this cooks the raw flour taste out. Gradually pour in the beef broth, while stirring, until the flour has dissolved, and scraping any stuck-on bits, from the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes, stir occasionally, or until the gravy has thickened to your liking. If it gets too thick, add in a splash more beef broth.
Drain the cooked egg noodles, add them to the skillet, and toss with the beef mixture. Season with salt & pepper, if needed, and serve immediately.
