My Postpartum wife asked me to make this 😅

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Beef (lean, no packaging)
• 0.5 medium Onion (diced fine)
• 1 tablespoon Garlic (minced (about 3 cloves))
• 1 tablespoon Mustard (regular yellow or Dijon)
• 4 cups Beef Broth (low‑sodium)
• 2 cups Heavy Cream (full‑fat)
• 8 ounces Egg Noodles (extra‑wide egg noodles)
• 0.5 cup Sour Cream (full‑fat)
• 8 ounces Cream Cheese (cut into cubes for faster melting)
• 2 stalks Green Onion (chopped, for garnish)
• to taste Salt (kosher salt)
• to taste Black Pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Dice the half onion, mince the garlic, chop the green onions, and cube the cream cheese so everything is ready to go.

   Time: PT5M

2. Brown the Ground Beef

   Heat the skillet over medium‑high heat, add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the meat is almost fully browned, with no large pink pieces.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: medium-high

3. Sweat Onion and Garlic

   Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3‑4 minutes, then stir in the minced garlic and cook another minute.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium

4. Add Mustard

   Stir in 1 tablespoon of mustard, coating the meat and aromatics evenly.

   Time: PT1M

5. Add Beef Broth and Bring to Light Boil

   Pour in the 4 cups of beef broth, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: medium

6. Cook the Noodles

   Add the extra‑wide egg noodles, press them down so they are submerged, and let them cook in the broth until soft, about 8 minutes.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: medium

7. Create the Creamy Sauce

   Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, and cubed cream cheese. Continue stirring until everything is fully melted and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: low

8. Season and Check Thickness

   Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon; if it’s too thin, simmer a minute longer.

   Time: PT2M

9. Garnish and Serve

   Remove from heat, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top, and serve hot in bowls or plates.

   Time: PT1M
