Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Push the onion and garlic to the side of the skillet. Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until fully browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat and return the skillet to the stovetop.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the ground beef mixture and stir until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the flour.

Step 6

Gradually add in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, but do not let the mixture boil, as this can cause the sour cream to curdle.

Step 8

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet with the sauce and stir to combine, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
