Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a tablespoon of Dijon mustard. If you don't have sour cream mix, plain yogurt can serve as a substitute. You can also use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter dish. Pair this with egg noodles or rice to soak up the sauce, making it reminiscent of classic American recipes.
