Level of Difficulty	Medium

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 4 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz egg noodles

Step 1: Cook the Egg Noodles

Begin by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions.

Once cooked, drain and set aside for later use.

Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

Once the beef is browned, add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

Next, add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until they are tender, about 3-5 minutes more.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

While the beef and vegetables are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce.

In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, pepper, and salt.

Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Combine and Simmer

Add the blended cottage cheese mixture to the skillet with the beef and vegetables, stirring to combine.

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6: Serve

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, serve it over the cooked egg noodles.

Mix gently to coat the noodles evenly in the creamy beef sauce.

Enjoy your meal!
