Notes
This also makes a great freezer meal! I store the leftovers in a freezer-safe container and then thaw in the refrigerator (usually takes about a day) and reheat over medium-low heat in a saucepan on the stove.
How to make this in the Instant Pot:
- Making this recipe in the Instant Pot is a little different! Push Saute on your Instant Pot and pour 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in. Put your meat on the bottom of the pan so you can mix it and sear it a little bit. (About 2 minutes)
- Next add your garlic, mushroom, and onions and saute those also for 3 minutes.
- Add 3 Tablespoons of flour into the beef mixture and stir until well combined
- Add your Worcestershire sauce and beef broth (And ketchup and apple juice if you would like)
- Put the lid on your Instant Pot and cook on Manual for 12 minutes.
- Do a quick release, add 16 ounces of Egg Noodles into your pot and add another 1/2 cup of beef broth.
- Close the lid and cook on Manual for 4 minutes. Do another quick release. Mix in 1/2 cup to 1 cup of sour cream and mix it in! If it is too runny, turn the saute button on and let it cook for a little longer!
