Fresh
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, sliced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Packaged
4 ounces extra-wide egg noodles
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup sour cream

Seasoning
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Serving
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles.
  • Slice the onion and mushrooms.
  • Mince the garlic.
  • Measure the beef broth, flour, Worcestershire sauce, and sour cream.
  • Chop fresh parsley for garnish.

Cooking

  • Cook the egg noodles until just tender according to package directions. Drain well and toss lightly with a splash of oil to prevent sticking.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  • Add the onion and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until onions soften and mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle flour evenly over the beef and vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens into a creamy gravy.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until smooth and fully incorporated.
  • Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until evenly coated.

Serving

  • Spoon into bowls while hot.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  • Serve immediately.
