Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

12 oz egg noodles (or pasta of choice)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking them until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated (about 5 minutes).

        Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional minute. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika, then allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the browned ground beef to the skillet. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Heat gently, allowing everything to warm through but do not let it boil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve: Toss the cooked egg noodles in the sauce mixture until well coated. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
