No reviews

A streamlined, one-pan comfort classic that saves time without sacrificing flavor. By simmering the pasta directly in the ground beef and broth mixture, the released starches create a rich, velvety sauce that binds everything together. Using high-heat searing for the beef results in deep savory notes, while the final addition of sour cream off the heat ensures a perfectly smooth finish. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish delivers restaurant-quality satisfaction in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef (85/15 ratio)
8 oz egg noodles or rotini pasta
10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp onion powder
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Heat the skillet over medium-high heat with oil until it shimmers.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until deeply browned.
Stir in the onion powder and cream of mushroom soup.
Add the dry pasta and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
Remove the skillet from the heat source.
Fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated and creamy.

Notes

Ensure you maintain a low heat during the final stage to prevent the sour cream from breaking. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small splash of additional beef broth until the desired consistency is reached. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
