Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 85/20 blend
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 9 baby bella mushrooms chopped
- 3 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup cheddar shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
In a large pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add butter, onion, and mushrooms. Season with garlic salt and onion powder, then cook until the onions are translucent and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 5–6 minutes.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, soy sauce, mustard, and garlic. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture darkens slightly and becomes fragrant.
Pour in beef stock, cream of mushroom soup, and add the bay leaf. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the egg noodles directly to the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 7 minutes, or until noodles are al dente.
Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. If the sauce looks too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a few minutes so the liquid can reduce. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese, cover to let it melt, and garnish with Parmesan cheese and red chili flakes before serving.

Notes
• Boost the protein: Use bone broth instead of stock or blend cottage cheese into the sauce.
• Switch up the meat: Ground turkey, chicken, or leftover steak all work beautifully.
• Add freshness: A sprinkle of parsley or thyme before serving brightens everything.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of broth or milk.
