Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 8 oz, sliced white mushrooms
- 2 cups beef broth
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
- Step 2: Add 1 medium diced yellow onion and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
- Step 3: Stir in 8 oz sliced white mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown.
- Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Step 5: Pour in 2 cups beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
- Step 6: Add 8 oz egg noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed.
- Step 7: Lower heat to medium-low and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir until the sauce is creamy and coats the noodles.
- Step 8: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley on top before serving for a fresh finish.
