Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This is one of those easy one pot dinners that hits all the right notes. It’s creamy, comforting, and packed with flavor—without needing a long list of ingredients. Everything cooks together, which means the noodles soak up all that delicious beefy, mushroom flavor.
Plus… fewer dishes. And honestly, that alone deserves a standing ovation.
Ingredients
- 2 cups egg noodles – Soft, tender noodles that soak up all that creamy, savory sauce
- 1 lb lean ground beef, cooked – Hearty protein that makes this a satisfying meal
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup – The base for a rich and creamy sauce
- 500g mushrooms, sliced – Adds earthy flavor and extra texture (and makes it feel fancy)
- 2 cups beef stock – Brings everything together with deep, savory flavor
Instructions
1. In a large pot or deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and lightly browned. (You can add a bit of butter if needed.)
3. Add the cream of mushroom soup and beef stock, stirring until smooth and combined.
4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Add the egg noodles directly into the pot and stir to coat.
6. Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the sauce.
7. If the mixture gets too thick, add a splash of extra stock to loosen it up.
8. Serve hot and enjoy that creamy, cozy goodness.
Tips and Tricks
- Slice mushrooms evenly so they cook at the same rate
- Stir occasionally so the noodles don’t stick to the bottom
- Add a splash of milk or cream at the end for extra richness
- Season with salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste
- Sprinkle with parmesan if you want a cheesy finish
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different protein?
Yes! Ground turkey or diced chicken breast would be great higher protein options
Can I use a different type of noodle?
You can, but cooking times may vary. Egg noodles work best for this one pot method.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a splash of broth when reheating to bring back the creamy texture.
This is one of those recipes that feels like a warm hug in a bowl… and somehow tastes even better the next day (if there are leftovers, which is a big if in this house).
