Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

• Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic.

• If using ground beef, ensure it’s thawed. If using sirloin, slice it thinly against the grain.

Step 2: Cook the Onions

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

• Add the sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown.

Step 3: Brown the Beef

• Push the onions to one side of the skillet and add the remaining oil.

• Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon.

Step 4: Add Garlic and Seasonings

• Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5: Prepare the Sauce

• In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, heavy cream, French onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce.

• Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 6: Cook the Noodles

• Add the egg noodles to the skillet, ensuring they’re submerged in the sauce.

• Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

Step 7: Add Cheese and Finish

• Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

• Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8: Serve

• Garnish with fresh parsley, shredded cheese, or crispy onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
