- 1 colander
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook for about 3 minutes, or until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
