- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
- Add ground beef. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes until softened.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine flour with a few tablespoons of sour cream to form a smooth paste. Stir this and the remaining sour cream into the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, boil egg noodles according to package directions. Drain.
- Spoon the creamy beef mixture over noodles and top with fresh parsley. Serve hot!
Variation
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner twist.
- Add frozen peas or spinach for extra color and nutrients.
- Use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangy, protein-rich alternative.
Cooking Notes
- Browning the mushrooms separately before adding them in boosts their flavor.
- Make sure to whisk the flour and sour cream smoothly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
- If the sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash of warm beef broth or reserved pasta water.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a side of buttered green beans or roasted broccoli.
- Pair with a simple garden salad and crusty bread to round out the meal.
- For a heartier dish, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over each serving before serving.
Tips
- Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest texture.
- Don’t overcook the noodles al dente works best so they hold up under the sauce.
- Garnish generously with parsley or fresh chives for a pop of freshness and color.
