Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

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.

Notes

  • 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.
