Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Add the uncooked egg noodles to the boiling water.
- Cook the noodles for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender.
- Do not drain the noodles; leave them in the water.
- In a separate pan, cook the ground beef until browned.
- Add garlic powder blend and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the beef gravy and drained sliced mushrooms.
- Combine the cooked beef mixture with the noodles and water.
- Stir in the sour cream just before serving to create a creamy texture.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water for cooking the noodles. If you're in a pinch, you can substitute the lean ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. To enhance the creaminess, try using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. This dish can also be made gluten-free by using gluten-free egg noodles.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Quick Creamed Corned Beef for a comforting dinner spread. Garnish each bowl with fresh parsley or chives for an appealing presentation and a burst of freshness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the soup in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You may need to add a splash of water or broth to restore the creamy texture as it thickens when chilled.
