Creating Ground Beef Stroganoff is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

4. Add the Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their moisture.

5. Thicken the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

6. Add the Broth: Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken for about 3-4 minutes.

7. Incorporate Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine with the sauce until everything is well coated.

9. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
