How to Make Beef Noodle Dinner

  1. **Make the Seasoning Mix:** In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
  2. **Store the Mix:** Transfer the seasoning mix to a labeled ziplock bag. This makes enough for 3 meals. Refrigerate for future use.
  3. **Brown the Beef:** Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. **Sauté Mushrooms:** Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  5. **Add Liquid & Seasoning:** Pour in 2 cups of hot water (or beef broth for extra richness) and stir in the entire contents of the seasoning mix.
  6. **Cook the Noodles:** Add 1 (16 oz) package of egg noodles (or your preferred type) to the pot. Bring to a boil.
  7. **Simmer to Perfection:** Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-17 minutes, or until noodles are cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  8. **Thicken & Serve:** Remove the lid and let the sauce simmer uncovered for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve hot and enjoy!
