Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 8 ounces Mushrooms
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, clean and slice the mushrooms thinly and dice the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Push the onions and mushrooms to the sides of the skillet and add the ground beef to the center. Cook the beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula. Drain the excess grease, if necessary.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the beef and vegetable mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to combine, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce, then season with salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture gently simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 9

Add the cooked egg noodles into the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley, if desired.
