Description

A quick and comforting skillet meal featuring creamy ground beef stroganoff with tender egg noodles, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450 g) ground beef (85% lean)
8 oz (225 g) egg noodles
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz (225 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cups (480 ml) beef broth (low sodium preferred)
1 cup (240 ml) sour cream (full-fat recommended)
2 tablespoons (15 g) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons (30 g) butter
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (7-9 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release moisture and start to brown, about 6-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
Push mushroom mixture to one side of the skillet. Add ground beef to the empty side and brown it, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Sprinkle flour evenly over beef and vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Lower heat to medium-low and stir in sour cream until sauce is smooth and creamy. Heat through but do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat noodles evenly with sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Brown the ground beef well for best flavor. Cook mushrooms thoroughly to avoid watery sauce. Keep heat low when adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Cooking noodles separately is easier, but you can cook them in the skillet with extra broth if desired. Adjust seasoning at the end for perfect balance.
