  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles: Boil egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sear beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Caramelize onions: In the same pan, add sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 15–20 minutes until golden and soft.
  4. Add garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Build sauce: Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer for 5–7 minutes.
  6. Combine: Return beef to the pan and stir in sour cream until creamy.
  7. Add noodles: Toss cooked noodles with the beef mixture until well coated.
  8. Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and let it melt.
  9. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For deeper flavor, cook the onions low and slow until deeply caramelized. You can broil the dish for 2–3 minutes after adding cheese for a bubbly, golden top. Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if desired.
