Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Cook the Egg Noodles:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Brown the Ground Beef:
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Cook the Mushrooms:
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
Add Liquids and Simmer:
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Incorporate Sour Cream:
- Reduce the heat to low. Gradually stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Serve:
- Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
