Simple Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients List

• 4 tablespoons butter, divided

• 6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles

• 2 pounds lean ground beef

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour

• 2 cups beef broth

• 1 cup sour cream

• salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients before you start cooking.

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl, leaving the skillet as is.

Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a rolling boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water until they’re tender yet al dente, about 7 to 9 minutes. Drain well.

While the noodles cook, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbled, about 7 to 9 minutes.

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it's well combined.

Add the broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 2 to 4 minutes.

Add the mushroom mixture, then stir in the sour cream, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes; avoid boiling.
