Here’s What You’ll Need:

- 1 Tbsp. organic home rendered tallow (rendered beef fat)
- 1/4 cup diced organic tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced organic yellow onion

- 1/4 cup diced organic green bell pepper (optional)
- 2-3 organic garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 cups Homemade Organic Beef Stock

- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground organic peppercorn blend
- 1-1/2 tsp. organic Nama Shoyu (soy sauce)

Here’s How I do it:
- If using Homemade Organic Freezer Beef Mix: Pour 1/4 cup unchlorinated and unfluoridated water into a deep saucepan with lid; Add the frozen beef mix, tomatoes, (bell pepper, if using) and onions. Simmer for 15 minutes over medium heat, covered. Uncover; break up the frozen chunks into smaller pieces and add the garlic along with the tallow. Cover and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Proceed with step 4.
- Brown the beef and tallow in a saucepan until halfway done.
- Add the tomatoes, onions (and bell pepper, if using) then saute with the ground beef for 5 minutes; Add the garlic and saute until the beef is brown and the onions are clear.
- Pour in the beef stock, mushroom or vegetable stock, whey, heavy cream and milk.
- Add the wide egg noodles and stir well
- Mix in the parsley flakes, tarragon (if using), salt and pepper.
- Slowly bring the mixture to a boil then simmer, covered, until the noodles are al-dente, approximately 18-22 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sour cream while allowing them to melt into the dish.
- Enjoy!
