Ingredients
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 1 package egg noodles (8 oz)
- 1 can French onion soup (10.5 oz)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup crispy French fried onions
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Brown the beef on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set it aside.
- Cook the Noodles: In the same pot, add the beef broth and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 7-8 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
- Add the Soup and Sour Cream: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the French onion soup and sour cream. Return the beef to the pot and mix everything together. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue cooking until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
- Top with Fried Onions: Just before serving, sprinkle crispy French fried onions on top for a satisfying crunch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the French Onion Beef and Noodles hot, and enjoy this deliciously comforting meal!
Notes
- Vegetarian Version: Skip the beef stew meat and use sautéed mushrooms for a savory, vegetarian twist.
- Add Veggies: Stir in chopped carrots, peas, or bell peppers for added nutrition and color.
- Spicy Twist: Spice it up by adding red pepper flakes or hot sauce when mixing in the sour cream.
