Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef Substitute with lean turkey for a lighter option.
- 1 medium onion, diced Yellow or white onions work best.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Essential for flavor.
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced Cremini recommended for earthiness.
- 2 tablespoons flour Use gluten-free flour if needed.
- 2 cups beef broth Chicken broth can be used if needed.

Instructions
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain excess fat if needed. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic for the last minute.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they release their juices and become tender.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to combine, cooking for about a minute.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring continuously. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow it to thicken for 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over warm egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
For additional flavor variations, consider adding spinach or kale, herbs like thyme or oregano, or spices such as paprika. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze portions for longer storage.
