Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 1 lb ground beef
- 10 oz can cream of chicken soup
- 1 pkt Lipton onion soup mix
- 2 cups beef broth, low-sodium
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cream of chicken soup, beef broth, heavy cream, and onion soup mix until smooth and well combined.
- Let the mixture simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar and colby jack cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and gently toss until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with fresh parsley or extra shredded cheese.
Notes
- Pre-shredded cheese works for convenience, but freshly shredded melts more smoothly.
- Add frozen peas or broccoli during the simmer step for an easy vegetable addition.
- If the sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash of beef broth before serving.
