Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1/2 C mushrooms, diced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 2 C water + better than beef bouillon
  • 2 C milk (or heavy whipping cream)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 C sour cream
  • 1 package egg noodles

Method
 

  1. Heat a large, deep pan over medium heat with your olive oil. Add the ground beef, break it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  2. While you're cooking your beef, follow instructions on the package to cook your egg noodles so they are ready to add later.
  3. Add your onion and garlic. Sauté for a few moments until your garlic is golden brown.
  4. Add your mushrooms and sauté for around five minutes. If they release a lot of juice, sauté until it evaporates.
  5. Add flour and make sure you completely mix it in (you don't want clumps!).
  6. Add your water + beef bouillon, milk, and Worcestershire sauce, plus salt and pepper. Bring it to a simmer and turn your heat to low. Let it cook, covered, for five minutes. *
  7. Add your egg noodles, then remove from heat. Stir in your sour cream and add another dash of salt and pepper.
  8. Enjoy!
    9. If you don't have the time to simmer the meat and sauce, it's ok to not let it simmer. This does help thicken the sauce, but it's not 100% necessary.
