Cooking Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until completely cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the onions to become translucent.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms into the skillet, and cook until they’re tender and have released their juices (about 4-5 minutes).
  • Stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, allowing the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat, and gently stir in the sour cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • While the sauce simmers, cook the egg noodles as per package instructions. Drain and add into the creamy mixture, mixing until the noodles are fully coated.
  • Scoop into bowls, maybe with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for a pop of color. Enjoy while piping hot!

Notes

For added nutrients, you can incorporate a handful of spinach or kale. You could also top with crispy onion strings for a festive touch. Consider using ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
