Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups (475 ml) low sodium beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup (180 grams) sour cream (full-fat preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons (16 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) wide egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter
  • Salt to taste (about 3/4 teaspoon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until no pink remains and beef starts to brown, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Push beef to the side of the skillet and add butter. Once melted, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms release moisture and become tender, about 6 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour evenly over beef and vegetables. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add egg noodles directly to the skillet. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed. Add a splash of water or broth if mixture looks too dry before noodles are done.
  6. Remove skillet from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

If sauce is too thick after adding sour cream, loosen with extra broth or water. Avoid overcrowding pan when browning beef to get a good sear. Stir noodles occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
