Equipment

1 large skillet
1 large pot

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef I recommend 85/15 for the best balance
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion finely diced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups beef broth use low-sodium to control your salt levels more
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces egg noodles wide noodles will hold sauce better, but medium noodles will feel closer to the boxed version
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 8 oz. of egg noodles until just tender according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed, then transfer the beef to a plate.
In the same skillet you cooked the meat, melt 2 T. butter and add the diced onion. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened and lightly golden. Add the 3 cloves of garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Sprinkle in the 2 T. flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the 2 1/4 cups of beef broth until smooth, then stir in the 1 T. Worcestershire sauce, 1 t. paprika, 1 t. salt, and 1/2 t. black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the 1 cup of sour cream. Add the cooked egg noodles and gently toss until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Top with fresh parsley and serve warm.
