Velveeta melts seamlessly into the dish, delivering a smooth, cheesy sauce, perfectly complemented by a dollop of tangy sour cream. Ready in just 35 minutes and bursting with flavor, this recipe is a time-saving comfort food favorite that's ideal for busy weeknights. Sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsley for a pop of color and enjoy this crowd-pleasing meal straight from the skillet!
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat over medium-high heat and crumble the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula or spoon. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and soften.
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the uncooked egg noodles and stir to ensure they are evenly distributed. Cover with a lid and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cubed Velveeta cheese until it melts and creates a creamy sauce. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Gently stir in the sour cream until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
