• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 8 oz egg noodles, cooked

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add onion and mushrooms. Sauté until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
3. Return beef to the skillet. Pour in beef broth and scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let reduce slightly, about 3 minutes.
4. Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in heavy cream and blue cheese, whisking until the cheese melts into a smooth sauce. Add thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Add cooked egg noodles and toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through. Serve hot with extra crumbled blue cheese on top if you like.
