Step 1
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the egg noodles and cook them until they’re tender but still have a little bite, about 5 minutes. While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, mushrooms, onion, garlic, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the beef is nicely browned and the veggies are soft, around 7 to 10 minutes. Drain off any extra fat and liquid from the pan.

Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, and beef broth. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the beef and veggies, then let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes so all the flavors come together.

Step 3
Once everything’s ready, you can either spoon the sauce over the noodles on each plate or stir the noodles right into the sauce before serving. Either way, it’s delicious!

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce if needed. This dish does not freeze well due to the sour cream.
