Ingredients

• 1 lb Lean ground beef

• 8 oz Wide egg noodles

• 8 oz White button mushrooms, sliced

• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced

• 3 cloves Garlic, minced

• 1.5 cups Beef broth

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup Full-fat sour cream

• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

• 2 tbsp Butter

Directions

• Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the egg noodles until they reach an al dente texture.
• Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains, then drain the excess fat.
• Add butter, onions, and mushrooms to the skillet, sautéing until the vegetables soften and develop a golden glaze.
• Stir in the garlic and flour, cooking for one minute to remove the raw flour taste.
• Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, allowing the mixture to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Reduce heat to low, stir in the sour cream and cooked noodles, and garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.

Notes

• Chef’s Secret: Sauté the mushrooms undisturbed for three minutes to achieve a deep, caramelized brown color.
• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, adding a splash of broth when reheating.
• Substitution: You can swap the ground beef for ground turkey for a lighter version of this savory meal.
