Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a slightly tangier taste and added protein.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- For thicker gravy, you can add a slurry of cornstarch and water during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- If you prefer, use fresh egg noodles for a softer texture instead of dried.
