Description
Here's Chef John's shortcut version of the classic comfort food: a one-pan meal featuring flavorful ground beef, mushrooms, and noodles.
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
•
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
•
1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
•
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
•
1/2 cup diced onion
•
1 pound ground beef
•
freshly ground black pepper
•
1 pinch cayenne pepper
•
2 cloves minced garlic
•
1 1/3 tablespoons flour
•
2 tablespoons vodka
•
2 1/2 cups beef broth, or as needed
•
1 cup water
•
2 1/2 cups egg noodles
•
1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
•
2 tablespoons fresh sliced chives or green onions
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Melt butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt, and saute, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
3
Add onion and ground beef. Cook, stirring, until meat is browned and crumbly, and onions turn soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and cayenne.
4
Stir in minced garlic and flour, and cook for 1 minute.
5
Pour in vodka and allow to evaporate, about 30 seconds.
6
Stir in beef broth and water and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
7
Reduce heat to medium, and mix in noodles. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 5 minutes. Uncover and stir thoroughly. Cover again and cook until noodles are just tender, about 3 minutes. (See Chef's Note.)
8
Once noodles are cooked, reduce heat to low, and stir in sour cream.
9
Serve immediately with additional sour cream and green onions or chives if so desired.
