Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced (baby bella or white button)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 10 oz egg noodles, uncooked
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and have reduced in size. Remove mushrooms from the skillet and keep them warm for later.
  2. Cook Ground Beef and Onions: To the same skillet, add the ground beef and finely diced onions. Break up the beef with a spatula and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Worcestershire Sauce: Stir the Worcestershire sauce into the cooked ground beef mixture to add depth and savory flavor.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the beef mixture and stir thoroughly until the flour is fully combined and no white patches remain, which will help thicken the sauce as it cooks.
  5. Add Broth and Noodles: Pour in the beef broth and add the uncooked egg noodles. Season with salt and black pepper. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Simmer to Cook Noodles: Once boiling, cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the egg noodles are tender and cooked through.
  7. Finish with Mushrooms and Sour Cream: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and sour cream until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure you stir frequently after adding broth and noodles to avoid noodles sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Using fresh mushrooms will enhance the savory flavor, but you can substitute with frozen if needed—just thaw and drain excess water before cooking.
  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt, but add it off the heat to prevent curdling.
  • Add fresh parsley or chives as garnish for extra color and freshness.
  • This dish can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and noodles.
