Notes About Easy Ground Beef Dish
- I use wide egg noodles, but you could use any type of noodles or pasta, if desired.
- To add more flavor, I like to boil the noodles in beef broth; however, water is just fine, or even water with some beef bouillon added to it.
- I boil my noodles in 6 – 8 cups of beef broth, or a combination of beef broth and water.
- Most of the flavor is coming from the ground beef; season it generously with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce.
- Garlic salt could be used instead of salt and garlic powder.
- Get creative, and add any seasonings you prefer!
- If you want it soupy, add some or all the remaining beef broth from the noodles.
