Ingredients
  • 8 ozs. egg noodles
Meat
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup (1 medium onion), chopped
  • ¾ lb. 90% lean ground beef
  • ¾ lb. ground pork
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. each allspice, nutmeg
Sauce

  • 5 cups low sodium beef broth, divided ½ cup and 4½ cups
  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp. sugar

  • ¼ tsp. each allspice, nutmeg, salt
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large saute pan on medium heat. Add onion and saute about 5 minutes.
  2. Add beef and pork and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Use a potato masher to crumble the meat.
  3. Sprinkle in salt and spices and mix to combine.
  4. Using a large slotted spoon, transfer meat mixture to a plate leaving the juices in the pan.
  5. In a measuring cup whisk together ½ cup broth with the sour cream until well combined and set aside.
  6. Add butter and flour to the saute pan (the heat is still on medium) and whisk together until you get a smooth paste. Continue whisking for a minute or 2.
  7. Turn off heat and whisk in the 4½ cups of beef broth stirring for about a minute. Now add the ½ cup broth mixed with the sour cream and continue whisking another minute until everything is well combined and smooth.
  8. Whisk in sugar, salt and spices and increase heat to medium.
  9. Add noodles and meat. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and simmer cooking 5-7 minutes until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
