Perfect for busy weeknights and family dinners, it comes together in under 30 minutes and is endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best flavor and juiciness)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat; Greek yogurt can be substituted)
  • 8 oz wide egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Optional: 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: 1/2 cup frozen peas

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until just tender (about 7-8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Push beef to one side of the pan and add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until onion is soft and mushrooms are golden, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk sour cream with a ladle of hot sauce from the pan to temper. Reduce skillet heat to low and gently stir sour cream mixture into the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Fold in cooked noodles until well-coated in sauce. If using peas, add them now. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF flour and noodles. For dairy-free, substitute coconut yogurt and olive oil. Temper sour cream with hot sauce to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add broth or milk; if too thin, simmer longer. Mushrooms can be omitted or swapped for other veggies. Leftovers reheat well and can be frozen (without noodles).
