BEEFY NOODLE & BROCCOLI WITH PEANUT SAUCE

1 lb. ground beef              
1 small onion, chopped                        
3 cloves garlic, chopped                         
1 head broccoli, use florets only
1 (14.5 oz.) can beef broth, divided
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 soy sauce
3-1/2 cups uncooked egg noodles  

Using a large skillet with a lid, brown the ground beef with onions and garlic for 3 minutes, breaking up clumps of beef with a spatula as you brown.  Reserve 1/2 cup of the beef broth for the sauce.  Pour remaining beef broth and 1 cup of water into the skillet.   Stir and bring to a light boil. Stir in the noodles and return to a boil.  Lay the broccoli on top of the noodles and cover skillet.  Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring once.  While this is cooking, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, and 1/2 cup of beef broth. After the noodles have cooked for 5 minutes, stir the peanut sauce into the skillet; mix well until all is well coated.  Let simmer for about 1-2 minutes.
