Directions

1Get a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
2If using seasonings, heavily salt your water.
3Dice up half of the Vidalia onion.
4Get your pan on the stove over medium heat.
5Throw the diced onion into the pan and move it around, bringing up the heat.
6If using seasonings, add a little bit of salt to the onions to start osmosis; otherwise, let them cook for 30 seconds.
7Lower the heat to medium-low.
8Once the water starts boiling, drop your egg noodles in and cook them al dente.
9After about a minute, when the onion starts to brown, take some pasta water and deglaze the pan to release flavors.
10Reduce the egg noodle water in the pan to about one or two teaspoons.
11When the liquid is reduced, throw in the whole can of beef stew.
12Snatch up some egg noodle water, throw it in the beef stew can, mix it around, and add it to the pan to emulsify the sauce.
13Mix the beef stew and let it go for about a minute.
14Strain the egg noodles, but do not clean the pot as the starch is important.
15In the same pot used for egg noodles, throw in the can of sloppy joe sauce.
16Add about a tablespoon of egg noodle water to the sloppy joe sauce and mix it up until it thickens.
17After the beef stew has been going for about a minute and a half, pour in half of the sloppy joe mixture into the beef stew pan and mix it up.
18In the pot with the remaining sloppy joe sauce, throw in the strained egg noodles and mix them up.
19Add the beef stew mixture to the pot with the egg noodles and sloppy joe sauce, scraping everything in.
20Mix everything together and let it sit for two or three minutes for the sauce to thicken on its own.
