Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
  • 8 oz cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for noodles)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  2. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
  3. Drain noodles and toss with a light drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles.
  5. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
  6. Add diced onions and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until soft and browned.
  7. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  8. Pour in the beef broth and simmer for 5-8 minutes until slightly reduced.
  9. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until smooth and warmed through.
  10. Serve the sauce generously over the prepared egg noodles.

Notes

Ensure you use low-sodium beef broth to better control the final salt content of the dish. Full-fat sour cream is recommended for the best texture and richness. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can stir in a small amount of cornstarch slurry before adding the sour cream.
