Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 piece onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked pasta or rice (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all the ingredients and chopping your onion and garlic. Slice the mushrooms so they’re ready to go.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté them together until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, cooking them until they soften and reduce in size, around 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to deglaze the pan.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and mix in the sour cream, stirring well until fully incorporated. Let it warm up for a couple of minutes but do not bring it to a boil!
  6. Serve the creamy mixture over your choice of cooked pasta or rice. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Substitutions: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option, or swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for a tangier taste. Watch the mushrooms to avoid overcooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat.
