Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 pound ground beef chuck 80/20
  • 1 small sweet onion small diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups beef stock
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • cup sour cream
  • Cooked egg noodles for serving
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the mushrooms, occasionally stirring, and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened with a light sear. Place them on a plate and set aside.
  • Add the ground beef and break it up into crumbles, occasionally stirring until cooked through with no pink left, 8-10 minutes.
  • Then add the onions and stir them into the beef. Cook until softened and translucent, 8-10 minutes, occasionally stirring.
  • Add in the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in the flour and stir until everything is coated and cook for 1 minute to get the flour taste out.
  • Slowly stream in the beef stock while constantly stirring. Add the heavy cream, worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
  • Add the mushrooms back to the skillet and stir them in. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Take off the heat and stir in the sour cream until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately over egg noodles with fresh parsley if using.

Notes

  1. You can use half and half in place of the heavy cream if that's all you have. 
  2. Cremini mushrooms are mushrooms that we prefer and often have on hand, feel free to use a different kind if you prefer. 
  3. You can use ground beef, ground turkey, ground pork and even ground sausage for this recipe. Or a combo of any of them! 
  4. If you want to use lean ground beef, you'll need to add butter or oil, see my tips on how to do that above. 
  5. We enjoy this dish over a bed of egg noodles, but feel free to swap them out for other pasta or starches. 
  6. You can freeze leftovers, see my suggestions above.
