Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb ground beef Choose lean beef for a healthier option.
1 medium onion, diced Adds sweetness and depth.
2 cloves garlic, minced Enhances the overall flavor.
8 oz mushrooms, sliced The earthy flavor complements the beef beautifully.
4 cups beef broth Use low-sodium broth for better control over salt levels.
8 oz egg noodles These will absorb all the rich flavors in the sauce.
½ cup sour cream Creates the dish’s creamy texture; Greek yogurt is a great substitute.
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce A little umami magic to augment the beef.
Salt and pepper, to taste Essential for enhancing all flavors.

Method

Preparation

In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat and add the diced onion. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, around 3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and golden, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the egg noodles and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until fully combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Can freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth to maintain creaminess.
