Beef and Noodles with Mushrooms is a hearty, one-pot comfort food featuring tender beef, savory mushrooms, and egg noodles simmered in a rich, flavorful broth. Perfect for family dinners or cozy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs beef chuck or stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or white button), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the beef pieces and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the diced onions and cook until soft and translucent.
  4. Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown.
  5. Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
  6. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  7. Add the egg noodles directly into the pot and cook according to package instructions until tender, stirring occasionally.
  8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a creamier version, stir in sour cream or heavy cream before serving.
  • Add frozen peas, carrots, or green beans in the last 10 minutes of cooking for extra veggies.
  • Use leftover pot roast or steak for a quicker version—add during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Slow cooker option: brown beef and mushrooms, then cook all ingredients on low for 6-8 hours.
  • To thicken sauce, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) in the last 5 minutes.
