Instructions

Boil the Noodles

Brown the Beef

In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.

Make the Sauce

Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir to coat. Gradually add beef broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer.

Season and Simmer

Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.

Finish with Sour Cream

Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Toss noodles in the sauce.

Serve

Garnish with parsley and serve with garlic buttered bread.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water and stir in the noodles. Boil the noodles, stirring occasionally, until al dente according to the package directions.

Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and return to the heat.

Add chopped onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Sprinkle the flour over the beef and vegetables, and stir to coat. Cook for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Gradually add the beef broth while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined. This adds a creamy texture and tangy flavor to the stroganoff.

Stir the cooked noodles to coat with the beef sauce.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.  A slice or two of garlic buttered bread completes this comfort food meal.
