- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can beef consomme
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3¾ cups egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons beef broth, or as needed
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high and cook the ground beef, breaking it up as it browns for about 5 to 7 minutes. Once fully cooked and crumbly, transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
Melt butter in the skillet, then sauté the onions and mushrooms until the onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the onion and mushroom mixture to the slow cooker and mix everything together.
Add the consommé to the slow cooker, then mix in the tomato paste, Greek yogurt, whipped cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir well, cover, and cook on High for 4 hours.
Add the dry egg noodles to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. If the sauce appears too thick, gradually stir in beef broth, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
