Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey Can substitute with ground chicken or plant-based crumbles
  • 1 cup sour cream Full-fat gives best texture; can replace with dairy-free yogurt for a dairy-free version
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Use tamari for a gluten-free option
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth Use low-sodium if preferred
  • 1 cup egg noodles Regular size; can substitute with gluten-free noodles or rice for gluten-free option

Aromatics and Vegetables

  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced (cremini or white)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté and add the olive oil.
  • Add diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef or turkey. Break it up and brown fully. Season with salt and pepper.

Cooking

  • Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the egg noodles on top—do not stir.
  • Close the lid and set the vent to sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes.
  • When the cook time ends, perform a quick release. Carefully open the lid.
  • Stir in the sour cream until smooth. Heat through off Sauté for 1 minute if needed—do not boil.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, don't stir the noodles before pressure cooking. Always add sour cream off-heat to prevent separation.
