- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
- Toss in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any bits, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 8 minutes until tender.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until well combined. Return the beef to the pot, letting it warm through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve once heated through and creamy.
