1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

2. Add the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking the meat up, for 8 to 10 minutes until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F (71°C) inside.

3. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

4. Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and prepared mustard. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Uncover and simmer gently for 20 minutes until the sauce has thickened, stirring now and then.

6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and smooth, then stir in the sour cream. Heat through for 5 minutes without letting it boil.

7. Serve the stroganoff hot over cooked noodles or rice.
