Savory Onion and Herb Hamburger Stew with Noodles
Equipment
- Large pot
- Wooden spoon
- Colander
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 cups beef broth
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if needed.
- Add the sliced onions to the pot with the beef. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onions soften and turn light golden.
- Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic smells fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper. Let it cook gently for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Add the egg noodles directly to the pot. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
- Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
Notes
Cook the onions slowly at the start to bring out their sweetness without burning them. If the stew thickens too much after the noodles cook, add a splash of extra broth to loosen it. Leftovers reheat well on the stove with a little added liquid to refresh the texture.
