  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning

  2. Cook the Ground Beef:

    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
    • If using, add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened.
