Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 12 ounces egg noodles, uncooked
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
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.
