Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles or your favorite pasta
- 1.25 lb ground beef 85–90% lean
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1.25 cup chopped yellow onion
- 10 oz sliced cremini mushrooms
- 2.5 tsp minced garlic
- 0.5 tsp paprika smoked or sweet
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.75 cup sour cream full-fat for best texture
- 1 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until no pink remains. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate.
- Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Sauté onion and mushrooms until they release liquid and turn golden, 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and paprika. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir and cook 1 minute to remove the raw taste.
- Whisk in beef broth gradually. Add Worcestershire and Dijon. Simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, 3–4 minutes.
- Return the browned beef and any juices to the pan. Reduce heat and gently simmer 3–4 minutes to meld flavors.
- Cook the noodles until al dente. Drain well.
- Take the skillet off heat. Stir in the sour cream until smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the noodles with the sauce or serve the sauce spooned over noodles. Finish with parsley.
Notes
Variation: Add a splash of dry white wine or sherry after sautéing the mushrooms, letting it cook off before adding broth. For a lighter version, swap half the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt and stir it in off heat. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice instead of noodles for a cozy twist.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, thinning with a splash of broth if needed.
