Yes! Brown ground beef using the sauté function with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat before adding the noodles and broth. Drain any excess fat first. The rest of the recipe stays the same.
The key is to not stir after adding the broth. Layer the ingredients as directed: meatballs at the bottom of the pot, then noodles, then mushrooms. Then pour the broth over the top. Make sure there’s enough liquid covering the ingredients.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. When reheating, add a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the sauce, since the noodles will absorb liquid as they sit.

Swap the beef meatballs for turkey or chicken meatballs if you want a lighter dish. The flavor will be milder, so bump up the Worcestershire sauce to two and a half tablespoons and add a pinch of smoked paprika for depth.
Ingredient Notes
- frozen homestyle meatballs: A quick shortcut, or swap in homemade meatballs or turkey meatballs.
- egg noodles: These pasta noodles cook right in the pot and soak up all the creamy sauce.
- mushrooms, sliced: Adds earthy flavor and great texture to the dish.
- dry mustard: Brings a subtle tangy depth that balances the sour cream.
- garlic powder: Builds savory flavor without the fuss of fresh cloves.
- Worcestershire sauce: Adds a rich umami kick to the broth.
- beef broth: The liquid base the noodles need to cook under pressure.
- sour cream: Stirred in at the end to create that velvety sauce.
