Instructions
- Cook egg noodles or mashed potatoes while making beef mixture. Drain noodles and set aside.
- Add beef to Dutch oven with chopped onion (or onion soup mix packet) and garlic powder. Cook over medium-high heat until beef is browned and onion is soft. Drain fat.
- Add beef broth (or water if using onion soup mix), mushrooms, and salt and pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Add mushroom soup and simmer 5 minutes more.
- Stir sour cream in to beef with cooked noodles (is serving with mashed potatoes then skip the noodles). Cook on low just until heated through.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
A creamy sauce is best when it is gently simmered. If the sauce is too thick, add more broth, cream or water until the consistency is to your liking. Don't overcook the noodles. Consider using a pre-made mashed potato such as the Bob Evans brand. This recipe has been tried and tested (and tasted) in the Living with Dana kitchen and found to be just as described: delicious!
