  • Feeds a crowd with little effort
  • Can be prepared ahead and reheated without losing texture
  • Meat gets fork tender without drying out
  • My favorite part is the way the sauce soaks into the noodles and each bite is rich without being too heavy This dish reminds me of holiday meals where everyone lingered a little longer at the table just for one more bite

  • Sear the beef well before slow cooking to lock in flavor
  • Always use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest sauce
  • Let the noodles cook just shy of done so they soak up the sauce in the last step
