Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 12 ounces egg noodles or penne pasta
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Form the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, or form into small, thin patties.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs or patties on all sides. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the sliced onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and brown, about 7 minutes.
  6. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  8. Slowly whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring until the gravy thickens slightly.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme. Return the cooked meat to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the meat to cook through and absorb the sauce flavor.
  10. While the sauce simmers, cook your pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  11. Stir the cooked pasta into the meat and gravy mixture in the skillet until everything is coated.
  12. Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  13. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra savory flavor, add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the gravy mixture along with the heavy cream.
  • If you prefer a skillet meal over a bake, skip the oven step; simply stir the cooked pasta into the sauce and serve immediately after simmering.
  • Use good quality beef broth for the best brown gravy pasta sauce flavor.
