Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz wide egg noodles
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (about 7-8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until well browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add diced onion to the beef and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, until mushrooms are golden and onions are lightly caramelized.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute until the flour loses its raw smell.
  6. Gradually pour in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Mix in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth.
  7. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it bubble for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  8. Turn off the heat and stir in sour cream. Do not boil after adding sour cream. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Add drained noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or pasta water.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF flour and pasta. For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. Brown the beef well for extra flavor, and always turn off the heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze the beef and sauce mixture (without noodles) for up to 2 months.
