Description

A quick and easy 30-minute comfort food casserole featuring tender beef patties, rich onion gravy, and buttery egg noodles, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
1 packet onion soup mix (e.g., Lipton)
1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
8 oz egg noodles (wide)
2 tbsp butter (unsalted)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese, chopped fresh parsley, steamed green beans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Cook egg noodles in salted boiling water until just before fully tender, then drain and toss with a little butter.
Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up, then drain excess fat.
In a saucepan, whisk onion soup mix and beef broth over medium heat until dissolved and simmering for 2 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and black pepper.
Form the browned beef into 6-8 small, flat patties.
Spread cooked noodles in the bottom of the baking dish, place patties on top, and pour gravy evenly over everything.
Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 minutes until bubbly. Add cheese in the last 5 minutes if desired.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cook noodles slightly underdone as they will finish cooking in the oven. Ensure beef is well-browned for flavor. Taste gravy before baking to adjust saltiness. Can be frozen unbaked for up to 2 months.
