Ingredients

  • 1 lb Luebbering Shorthorn ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth

🍲 How to Make One-Pot Shorthorn Beef & Noodles

1. Brown the Beef

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the Shorthorn ground beef with the diced onion and garlic until browned. Drain if needed.

2. Build the Broth

Add the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

3. Add the Noodles

Bring everything to a boil, then add in the egg noodles. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

4. Make It Creamy

Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream. This step gives the dish its velvety, comforting finish.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Dish it out warm and sprinkle with parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Pair with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.


Farm Family Tips

  • Swap egg noodles for gluten-free pasta or a higher protein option 
  • Add peas or mushrooms for extra veggies.
  • If you like a thicker consistency, simmer uncovered for the last 2 minutes.
  • This dish doubles beautifully — perfect for big families or meal prepping.

Why Shorthorn Beef Makes Recipes Better

Shorthorn cattle naturally produce well-marbled, tender beef with a clean, rich flavor. Because we raise our animals on hay, silage, and grain grown right here on our farm, you get consistent quality every time.

When you choose our beef, you’re not just getting dinner — you’re supporting local agriculture, small family farms, and the next generation growing up alongside these cattle.
