Ingredients
  

For the Stroganoff
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream full fat recommended
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
For Serving
  • 12 ounces egg noodles

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Pot

Method
 

  1. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and water. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, mushrooms, salt, and pepper.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Do not boil after adding the sour cream.
  9. Serve the ground beef mixture over the cooked egg noodles.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the sour cream. You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth if desired.
