Equipment
- large pot
- large skillet
- colander
Ingredients
Essential Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Gradually add beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream. Mix until fully incorporated and season with salt and pepper. Do not let it boil.
- Add cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
