Beef Stroganoff with Cream Cheese

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and let it warm up for a few minutes. Add ground beef to the hot skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon as you go. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the beef to enhance its flavor. Cook and stir constantly until the ground beef is fully browned, taking around 7 to 10 minutes. Remove any excess grease from the skillet using a paper towel.

Now, melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and minced garlic to the hot butter, stirring occasionally until they're softened and fragrant. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir it in, cooking for another minute or so until the flour is lightly browned.

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, stirring it in gently with a spoon. Pour beef broth over the mixture and bring it to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and some mustard to the mixture, stirring it in thoroughly.

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer away, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a thick and gravy-like consistency - this should take around 1 hour.

Finally, stir in some sour cream and softened cream cheese to the beef mixture. This will add a rich and creamy texture to your dish, making it perfect for serving.
