Why You'll Keep Making This
A great way to enjoy rich, comforting flavors without the heavy fat. Using lean beef keeps it lighter, making it perfect for a satisfying meal that won’t leave you feeling weighed down. It’s hearty, creamy, and full of classic taste.
Directions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the egg noodles and cook them until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite, about 5 minutes. While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, mushrooms, onion, garlic, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the beef is nicely browned and the veggies have softened, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain off any extra fat or liquid. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, and beef broth, then stir this into the skillet with the beef mixture. Let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes so the flavors come together. When the noodles are ready, you can either serve them topped with the sauce or stir the noodles right into the sauce before plating—either way works great!
