Ingredients
Protein & Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
Pasta
- 2 cups egg noodles, cooked
Liquids & Dairy
- 1 cup beef broth
- ½ cup sour cream
Seasonings & Thickener
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Beef and Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is fully browned and the onions are translucent. Drain excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they become tender and release their moisture, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Flour: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the beef and mushroom mixture, stirring continuously for about 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste and help thicken the sauce.
- Simmer with Broth: Pour in the beef broth gradually while stirring. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens into a creamy sauce, about 5-7 minutes.
- Incorporate Sour Cream and Seasonings: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream along with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Toss with Noodles and Serve: Add the cooked egg noodles to the sauce in the skillet and toss until they are fully coated. Serve immediately for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard when stirring in the sour cream.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter, tangier sauce.
- Use gluten-free noodles to make this dish gluten-free friendly.
- Adjust salt and pepper to your preference for optimal seasoning.
