"This easy, fast, and economical recipe sure to please. It is equally good over rice. Serve this family favorite with a green salad and a light dessert."

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 (4.5 ounce) can mushrooms, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 (8 ounce) package wide egg noodles

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water until done, about 8 minutes. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a large skillet, cook mushrooms and onions in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until soft; remove from pan.

3. Using the same pan, melt remaining butter. Cook ground beef in melted butter until browned. Mix in flour. Stir in beef broth, and cook until slightly thickened. Add mushroom and onion mixture; stir in sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Continue cooking until sauce is hot, but not boiling. Serve sauce over egg noodles.

Notes:
I'm rating this after a second attempt. The first time I followed the recipe to a T and thought it was bland, but a great starter recipe (3 ***'s then). I've since made it with the following substitutions. While cooking veggies and meat I added salt, pepper, minced garlic. When adding the broth I also added 3 tbspn of red wine. Instead of using 1/2 cup sour cream, I used 1/4 cup low fat sour cream and 1/4 cup cream of mushroom. FANTASTIC!!!!!
