Ingredients

The Base:
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef (or turkey)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/8 cup chopped red bell pepper (optional)
Olive oil (for sautéing)
The Flavorings:
1 packet beefy onion soup mix
1 clove garlic, minced
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp black pepper
The Creamy Sauce:
2 cups milk
3 heaping Tbsp cornstarch
1 cup sour cream
For Serving: Cooked egg noodles or rice

Instructions

Sauté: In a bit of olive oil, sauté the onion and red bell pepper until softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Brown: In the same skillet, brown your ground beef (or turkey). Drain the grease thoroughly.
Season: Add the sautéed vegetables back into the skillet with the meat. Stir in the garlic, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Keep it over medium-high heat.
Thicken: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet.
Finish: Stir in the sour cream until well combined and the sauce is smooth.
Simmer: Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened and bubbly. Serve it warm over a big bed of egg noodles or rice.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips:

Lower-Fat Version: Use ground turkey and low-fat sour cream for a lighter meal.
Cream of Soup Option: If you prefer, you can omit the onion soup mix, milk, and cornstarch. Instead, use two 10.5-oz cans of cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of milk for an extra-thick sauce!
