  3. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Stir in 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
  6. Serve hot over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
