- 1 lb ground beef lean or regular, depending on your preference
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups beef broth low sodium
- 3 cups egg noodles cooked
- 1 cup sour cream full-fat for the creamiest texture
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup condensed
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Brown the Ground Beef:
While the noodles cook, heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the pan and use a wooden spoon to crumble it as it cooks. Cook until the beef is browned with no pink left, and the edges are caramelized for added flavor.
Add the Onions and Garlic:
Build the Sauce:
Add the beef broth and cream of mushroom soup, stirring well to blend everything together. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for around 5 minutes, letting the flavors combine and the sauce thicken a bit.
