Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (white button or cremini)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (optional, for sautéing)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbles. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until onions are soft and fragrant.
- Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and moisture has evaporated.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir to coat evenly.
- Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring to form a smooth sauce.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until fully combined and creamy.
- Serve hot over a bed of cooked white rice.
Notes
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Add peas or spinach for extra veggies.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
- For more creaminess, stir in a splash of heavy cream.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth or water.
