Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large pot for pasta
  • Colander
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
  3. Add diced onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until onions are translucent and mushrooms are golden brown.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the meat mixture and stir constantly for 2 minutes to create a roux.
  6. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
  7. Add Worcestershire sauce and paprika, then simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens.
  8. Remove from heat and slowly stir in sour cream until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  9. Add cooked egg noodles to the skillet and gently toss to coat evenly with sauce.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, use 80/20 ground beef for optimal flavor and moisture. Remove from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
