Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 6 ounces Egg Noodles

Meat

  • 1 pound Ground Beef

Sauce

  • ¼ cup Butter
  • ¼ cup Flour
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 ¼ cup Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the egg noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until tender. Once cooked, drain and set aside for later use.
  2. Brown the ground beef: While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains and the meat is fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
  3. Make the roux: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a smooth roux, which will thicken the sauce.
  4. Add beef broth: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring over medium heat until the sauce thickens again and becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Season the sauce: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, ensuring the flavors are well blended into the sauce.
  7. Combine noodles and beef: Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir gently until everything is evenly combined and heated through.
  8. Add sour cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated into the sauce, adding a rich and tangy flavor to the dish.
  9. Serve: Serve the ground beef stroganoff hot, pairing it with your favorite vegetables or a slice of garlic toast for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For extra depth, sauté some mushrooms and onions along with the ground beef.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the flour to 1/3 cup when making the roux.
  • Add fresh parsley or chives as a garnish for color and freshness.
  • This dish reheats well and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
