Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef Substitutes: ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter option
- 1 medium onion, chopped For a sweet touch, consider using shallots
- 3 cloves garlic, minced Fresh adds more flavor, but garlic powder works in a pinch
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced Cremini or button mushrooms provide great texture
- 1 cup beef broth Vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian take
- 1 cup sour cream Greek yogurt works well for a healthier twist
- 2 cups egg noodles Feel free to use gluten-free pasta
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Soy sauce can be an alternative
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped Or use chives for a different flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the egg noodles, making sure they’re submerged in the broth. Cover the pot and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente. Stir occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and well-combined.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
Notes
For healthier alternatives, consider using lean ground beef, whole grain egg noodles, replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt, or adding vegetables like carrots or spinach. Storing tips: store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
