Print Recipe

A fast, comforting weeknight dinner featuring tender ground beef and mushrooms in a rich, creamy sour cream sauce served over egg noodles. Ready in under 20 minutes with simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) Ground Beef (80/20 blend)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 8 oz (225g) Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup (240ml) Beef Broth (low-sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 cup (240g) Sour Cream (full-fat)
  • 8 oz (225g) Egg Noodles
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned (3-4 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add diced onion to the beef and cook until soft and translucent (2 minutes). Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms; stir and cook until mushrooms release moisture and brown (2-3 minutes).
  4. Sprinkle flour, paprika, and Dijon mustard over the beef mixture. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring continuously. Scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly (2-3 minutes).
  6. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in sour cream until smooth. Do not return to high heat to prevent curdling.
  7. Add cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss until coated in the sauce. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. Ensure the pan is removed from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth; if too thin, simmer longer before adding cream. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
