Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Egg Noodles
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • ¼ cup Flour
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1¼ cup Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package directions. Once cooked, drain and set aside for later.
  2. Brown the beef: While noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer beef to a plate. Set aside.
  3. Make the roux: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a smooth roux.
  4. Add beef broth: Gradually pour beef broth into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Incorporate milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring over medium heat until sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Season the sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, mixing thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  7. Combine noodles and beef: Reduce heat to low. Add cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef into the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat through.
  8. Add sour cream: Gently fold in sour cream until fully incorporated, adding a rich and tangy flavor to the stroganoff.
  9. Serve: Serve hot, optionally with your favorite vegetable side or garlic toast for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, use less milk or simmer sauce a bit longer.
  • Use low-fat sour cream for a lighter version.
  • Drain excess fat from beef to prevent greasy sauce.
  • Fresh mushrooms can be added with the beef for extra flavor and texture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
