Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: In a large pot over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil to prepare for cooking the beef.
- Brown the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is fully browned and no longer pink.
- Cook mushrooms and onions: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and diced onion, cooking until they have softened and released their moisture.
- Add garlic: Mix in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds to release its aroma without burning.
- Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the beef broth and mix in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper for flavor depth.
- Cook the noodles: Add the egg noodles to the pot, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Simmer: Let the noodles cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes until they are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
- Finish with sour cream: Remove the pot from heat and gently stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top and serve immediately for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use ground turkey as a leaner substitute for the beef to reduce fat content.
- Add extra mushrooms to enhance the earthy flavor and texture.
- Be sure to stir the sour cream in off the heat to prevent it from curdling and keep the sauce smooth.
