Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef (organic, grass-fed, 85% lean)
2 tbsp butter (salted, grass fed)
1 yellow onion (diced, large)
3 tsp garlic (organic, minced)
8 oz mushrooms (organic, sliced)
1/4 cup flour (organic, all purpose for the roux)
16.9 oz Beef Broth (organic, about 2 cups, Use the code COOKINGKATIELADY for 20% off Kettle & Fire organic broths!)
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (organic)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1 cup sour cream (or plain, nonfat Greek yogurt)
16 oz egg noodles (I use Bionaturae Organics - each package is 8.8 oz of this specific brand)

Instructions

1
Prep the Base: In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and translucent.
2
Add Garlic & Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are fragrant.
3
Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until fully browned, about 7–8 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
4
Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the meat and mushroom mixture. Stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to coat and cook out the raw flour taste.
5
Create the Sauce: Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and flavors to develop.
6
Add the Creamy Element: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until fully incorporated and smooth. Warm gently—do not boil—to prevent curdling.
7
Cook Noodles Separately: While the sauce simmers, prepare the egg noodles according to the package directions (usually about 8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
8
Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles directly to the sauce. Toss everything together until well coated. Serve warm and enjoy!
