Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 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

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add ground beef. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Meanwhile, boil egg noodles according to package directions. Drain.
  7. Spoon the creamy beef mixture over noodles and top with fresh parsley. Serve hot!

Variation

  1. Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner twist.
  2. Add frozen peas or spinach for extra color and nutrients.
  3. Use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangy, protein-rich alternative.

Cooking Notes

  1. Browning the mushrooms separately before adding them in boosts their flavor.
  2. Make sure to whisk the flour and sour cream smoothly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
  3. If the sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash of warm beef broth or reserved pasta water.

Serving Suggestions

  1. Serve with a side of buttered green beans or roasted broccoli.
  2. Pair with a simple garden salad and crusty bread to round out the meal.
  3. 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.
