    • Prep Time: 5 minutes
    • Cook Time: 30 minutes
    • Total Time: 35 minutes
    • Yield: 6 servings
    • Category: Main Dish
    • Method: Stove
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 12 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced thick)
    • 1 small yellow onion (diced)
    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 3 cloves garlic (minced. About ¼-⅓ cup)
    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme
    • 2 teaspoons Paprika
    • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
    • 4 cups beef broth
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 8 ounces uncooked egg noodles
    • ½ cup plain greek yogurt (I used 2% fat, but nonfat works too!)
    • 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

    Instructions

    1. In a large, deep sided skillet or dutch oven melt the butter on medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and onions. Sauté, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned. This should take about 5 minutes.
    2. Add ground beef to the mushrooms and onions and season with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble the beef, cooking for 3-5 minutes. Once the beef is crumbled and browned, add the garlic, thyme, and paprika. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
    3. Stir in the flour for about 1 minute until lightly browned. Add the broth and scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan. Add in dijon mustard and egg noodles.
    4. Bring to a boil, cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the noodles are cooked. About 8-10 minutes.
    5. Once noodles are cooked, gently stir in the greek yogurt. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
