Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium White or yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 can Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and beef broth. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 5

Add the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well, then let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

While the sauce simmers, 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 7

Taste the stroganoff sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more beef broth to thin it out.

Step 8

Toss the cooked egg noodles with the sauce in the skillet until the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
