Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) ground beef (80% lean)
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) egg noodles
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 2 ounces (55 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 6-8 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Remove beef from skillet and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon butter, then add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until onions are translucent and mushrooms have browned slightly. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the onion and mushroom mixture. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste and thicken the sauce.
  5. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, sour cream, and cream cheese until sauce is smooth and creamy. Return cooked beef to skillet and stir to combine. Add reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.
  7. Add drained egg noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to coat noodles evenly with sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.

Notes

Use room temperature sour cream and cream cheese to prevent curdling. Caramelize onions and mushrooms well for depth of flavor. Keep heat low after adding sour cream to maintain sauce smoothness. Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
