- 1/2 cup Sour cream Full-fat preferred for creamy sauce.
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese or heavy cream Optional but enhances creaminess.

Instructions
Preparation
- In a deep skillet or medium pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Let it sit for a minute before stirring to allow for browning.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the beef, cooking until the onion is translucent.
- If using, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the egg noodles to the pot, pushing them down so they are submerged, and simmer until they are tender.
- Once noodles are cooked, lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and optional cream cheese or heavy cream until creamy.
- Adjust the consistency with more broth or water if the mixture is too thick.
- Serve hot and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For best results, do not add sour cream while boiling; turn the heat down low before adding to avoid curdling. Leftovers can thicken; add broth or water when reheating.
