Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 8 ounces, sliced button or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet or pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan and set the beef aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are lightly browned.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and mushroom mixture, stirring well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Serve the stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
