A savory and comforting American classic that perfectly marries well-browned ground beef with a rich, velvety mushroom sauce. By using high-heat searing techniques and careful tempering of the sour cream, this dish achieves a professional, restaurant-quality emulsion that clings beautifully to buttery egg noodles. Ideal for a hearty weeknight dinner, this recipe delivers deep, professional flavors without complex equipment or lengthy prep times.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) Ground Beef (85/15 ratio)
8 oz (225g) Egg Noodles
1 can (10.5 oz) Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup (120ml) Full-fat Sour Cream
1 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 cup (60ml) Beef Broth
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente.
While water heats, add ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat and let it brown undisturbed to achieve a deep sear.
Once browned, drain excess fat if necessary and stir in the condensed mushroom soup, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine, simmering for 3-5 minutes until the flavors meld.
Place the sour cream in a separate small bowl and add a tablespoon of the hot sauce to it to temper it before stirring the mixture into the main pan.
Drain the noodles and toss them directly into the sauce, mixing until every strand is coated thoroughly.
Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Always temper the sour cream with a little hot liquid before adding to the pan to prevent the sauce from breaking or curdling. For added freshness, you may garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
