How to Make Beefy Noodles Hamburger Helper Copycat

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups water, 2 beef bouillon cubes (or 2 tsp beef bouillon granules), 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 tbsp Marmite (or 1 tbsp soy sauce for a less intense flavor), 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tbsp cornstarch until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked ground beef to the pot. Pour the water mixture over the beef and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
  5. Add 8 oz egg noodles (half a 16 oz package). Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy!
