Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90/10 grind is ideal; turkey works too)
  • 8 ounces egg noodles (whole wheat or gluten-free pasta as a swap)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (yellow or sweet)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (optional—try diced bell pepper if you skip)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (use avocado oil for high-heat cooking)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a pinch)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour blend for GF version)
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth (homemade stock adds richer depth)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (soy sauce works too)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard for a milder tang)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika if you like a hint of warmth)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (or full-fat Greek yogurt for extra protein)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions
 

  • In a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no pink remains—about 5–7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Push beef to one side, add onion and mushrooms. Cook 3–4 minutes until softened, stirring once. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds more until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle flour evenly over the mixture. Stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in beef broth, stirring to lift up any fond. Add Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and paprika.
  • Bring to a gentle bubble, then reduce heat and let it thicken—about 4–5 minutes. Stir often so the sauce doesn’t stick. If it gets too thick, splash in a little extra broth or water.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate pot, boil egg noodles until just al dente (1–2 minutes shy of package directions). Drain and rinse under warm water to stop cooking.
  • Remove pan from heat. Stir in sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until fully incorporated and glossy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Gently fold in the noodles, coating every strand in that creamy sauce. Scatter parsley on top. Serve hot, perhaps with a side salad or crusty bread.

Notes

Tip: Pick grass-fed ground beef for richer flavor and a better omega-3 profile. Drain excess fat to keep the creamy sauce silky, not greasy.
