A quick and comforting casserole combining ground beef, egg noodles, mushrooms, and a creamy sour cream sauce baked to golden perfection. Perfect for cozy weeknights with simple ingredients and minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 8 oz white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat, or Greek yogurt as substitute)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente (6-8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown.
  4. Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink and browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  5. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Sprinkle 2 tbsp flour over the mixture and stir to coat. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  7. Slowly pour in 1 1/2 cups beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer gently for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  9. Add cooked egg noodles to the sauce mixture and fold gently to coat evenly.
  10. Transfer mixture to a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish and spread evenly.
  11. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
  12. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the casserole before serving.

Notes

Do not add sour cream directly to hot liquid; stir it in off heat to prevent curdling. Drain excess fat from beef to avoid greasiness. Cook noodles just shy of done as they finish cooking in the oven. Adjust seasoning gradually and taste before baking. For a cheesy variation, add shredded cheddar or mozzarella before baking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles and cornstarch instead of flour.
