Ingredients

1 lb lean at least 80% ground beef
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 pkg 8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms (about 3 cups)
1 ½ cups beef-flavored broth
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
4 tsp Dijon mustard
1 lb unpeeled Yukon Gold or red potatoes cut into 1/2-inch cubes (3 medium) I used Yukon Gold
2 medium carrots thinly sliced (1 cup)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in salt, pepper and flour. Add mushrooms; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix broth, whipping cream and mustard with wire whisk. Add to beef mixture. Stir in potatoes and carrots.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and sauce is slightly thickened. If the sauce is too thin at the end of the cooking process, increase the heat to medium-high and cook uncovered another few minutes until the liquid reduces and is slightly thickened. Sprinkle with parsley. Serves 4-5.
