Instructions
Let’s dive into the process of bringing this comforting dish to life. Here are the steps to follow:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and stir in the dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the beef mixture, then stir in the sour cream until well incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the bake cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy a perfect meld of flavors.
