Description
A quick and creamy weeknight dinner made in a single skillet. This recipe uses ground beef, egg noodles, and a rich mushroom sauce for a comforting meal ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio preferred)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced finely
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 8 oz egg noodles (fresh or dried)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream (full fat)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and melt. Add ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until no pink remains (approx. 5 minutes). Drain excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
- Push beef to the side or remove if pan is small. Add diced onions to the empty space. Sauté until translucent and soft (approx. 2 minutes). Stir in garlic powder and onion powder.
- Stir the cooked beef back into the onions. Add cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Sprinkle egg noodles evenly over the top of the beef mixture. Do not stir yet.
- Cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until liquid is mostly absorbed and noodles are tender. Check after 5 minutes; add a splash of broth if too dry.
- Remove lid and turn off the heat. Stir in sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to boil after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately with crusty bread or steamed vegetables.
Notes
Do not overcook the noodles; they should be al dente as they will continue to cook in the residual heat. Keep heat on medium-low once noodles are added to prevent burning. If worried about sour cream curdling, temper it by mixing a spoonful of hot sauce into the sour cream before adding it back to the pan. Leftovers thicken significantly; reheat with a splash of milk or broth to loosen.
