  • 1 lb lean ground beef Use lean to reduce fat
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced Add flavor to the dish
  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced Adds texture and flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Enhances overall flavor

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Preheat a heavy, deep pan over medium-high heat with olive oil.
  2. Add ground beef and stir to break it down into tiny pieces.
  3. Add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and golden brown.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes or until the mushrooms soften. If they release a lot of juice, let it evaporate.
  5. Add flour and stir until fully incorporated, mixing in any lumps that form.
  6. Add beef broth, heavy whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, and bring it to a simmer.
  7. Turn the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream until combined. Season to taste if needed.
  9. Serve over noodles, rice, or potatoes.
