Ingredients

  • 1-1.5 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-2 cups cremini or button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth low-sodium
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp flour optional, for thickening
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Seasonings for ground beef:
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground mustard
  • ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce for ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked egg noodles or wide pasta
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook noodles in salted water per package instructions. Drain, toss with a little butter or oil, and set aside.
  • Brown beef in butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, salt, pepper, and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce. Cook until browned, then drain excess fat.
  • Sauté veggies by adding shallot, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Make sauce by sprinkling flour over the beef mixture. Stir, then add beef broth, remaining Worcestershire, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Simmer 5 minutes.
  • Add cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  • Finish with sour cream off heat, stirring until blended. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Combine noodles with sauce and let sit briefly to absorb flavors.
  • Serve garnished with parsley or chives.

Notes

Beef Choice: 85/15 ground beef provides the best balance of flavor and richness without making the dish too greasy. Drain excess fat if needed, but season the meat again if too much fat is drained.
Prevent Sticky Noodles: Toss drained noodles with a little butter or oil to keep them from drying out.
