1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
8 ounces egg noodles
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step 1:
Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2:
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Step 3:
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Step 4:
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5–7 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
Step 5:
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mixture. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 6:
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 3–5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Step 7:
Reduce the heat to low. Add the sour cream and stir gently until it is fully incorporated. Do not boil once the sour cream has been added.
Step 8:
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked egg noodles and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Step 9:
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
Make it Lighter: Use lean ground turkey or chicken and low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute gluten-free noodles and use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the sauce.
Dairy-Free Version: Use a plant-based sour cream alternative and dairy-free butter.
Vegetarian Tip: Swap ground beef for lentils, tofu crumbles, or a meatless ground alternative.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze (without noodles) for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or water to keep the sauce creamy.
