Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef Choose ground beef with higher fat content for richer flavor.
  • 8 ounces egg noodles Can be substituted with whole wheat noodles or spiralized zucchini for a lighter option.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Cook the egg noodles: Start by boiling water and following the package instructions for your egg noodles. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened—about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Brown the beef: Add the ground beef to your skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cooking until it’s browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms, cooking until they release their juices and begin to brown, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  5. Mix in the liquids: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Finish with sour cream: Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the sour cream, stirring until smoothly blended.
  7. Combine everything: Fold the beef mixture into the cooked egg noodles, ensuring everything is well coated.
  8. Final seasoning: Taste your dish and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  9. Serve warm: Dish it out and enjoy a hearty meal!
