Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 16 ounces white button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 – 3 cups low sodium beef broth, to desired consistency
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream (full fat)
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- Cooked egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice, optional
Instructions:
- Begin by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s halfway browned, add the butter, chopped onion, and sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and the mushrooms are nicely browned.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried parsley to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef and mushroom mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to combine everything evenly.
- Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for 7-10 minutes, until it has thickened slightly.
- Stir in the sour cream and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve the Creamy Mushroom Beef Delight over cooked egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Notes:
- Opt for a good lean ground beef and add a touch of butter for extra flavor in the mushrooms.
- Feel free to substitute ground turkey or ground pork for the ground beef.
- Drain any excess grease after browning the ground beef, if necessary.
- Both white button and cremini mushrooms work well in this recipe, and you can mix them for added flavor.
- Experiment with different types of pasta or starches for serving, such as angel hair pasta or mashed potatoes.
- If the gravy becomes too thick, simply thin it down with additional beef broth until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating gently before serving.
