🥘 Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 lb ground beef

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Caramelize the onions: In a large skillet, melt butter and cook onions on low for 15 minutes, stirring often, until golden brown.
2. Brown the beef: Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
3. Make the sauce: Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper, and beef broth. Simmer for 5–8 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Bring it together: Add heavy cream and cooked egg noodles. Toss gently to coat everything in that rich onion gravy.
5. Cheesy finish: Sprinkle Gruyère or mozzarella on top, cover, and let it melt before serving.

💡 Pro Tips

• Use Gruyère cheese for authentic French onion flavor — it melts beautifully!
• Don’t rush the onions — low and slow brings out the sweetness.
• Want a thicker sauce? Stir in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with water before adding the noodles.
• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Serve your French Onion Beef Noodles with a side of crusty garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and a touch of freshness to balance the rich flavors.

🥡 Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet with a splash of broth or cream to revive the sauce’s silky texture. Avoid the microwave if possible — it can make the noodles soggy!
