Description
A quick, creamy, and comforting weeknight dinner made with ground beef, mushrooms, and a rich sour cream sauce, ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 fat ratio)
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 oz egg noodles (wide)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Optional: ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Dice onion, mince garlic, and measure broth and sour cream.
- Cook egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente (7-9 minutes). Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining. Do not rinse noodles.
- While noodles cook, heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Break up beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce; stir for 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Add cream of mushroom soup and stir to combine. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove skillet from heat. Gradually stir in sour cream until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Add drained noodles to the sauce and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Serve immediately topped with parsley and pepper.
Notes
Do not rush browning the beef to ensure flavor development. Remove pan from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Save pasta water to adjust sauce consistency. This recipe does not freeze well due to the dairy content.
