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.

Kitchen Tips

- Brown the beef quickly over high heat to keep it tender and juicy.
- Use sour cream at the end of cooking to prevent curdling and keep the sauce smooth.
- Don’t overcook the mushrooms; sauté them until just browned for the best texture.

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!

Serving Suggestions

Serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh green salad adds a nice balance and freshness to the meal.

Storage Advice

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water if the sauce has thickened too much. Avoid freezing as the texture of the sauce may change.
