How this recipe comes together
This dish is a breeze to prepare! We begin by browning the ground beef with onions until tender, followed by the addition of spices for flavor. Next, beef broth and uncooked egg noodles are stirred in, allowing them to cook until soft. Finally, we blend in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream to create a creamy sauce that envelops the noodles and beef. It’s a straightforward process that yields a wonderfully rich, comforting meal.
