Ingredients

Pasta

  • 6 ounces egg noodles

Beef and Sauce

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Brown Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef thoroughly, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain off any excess grease to ensure the sauce is not greasy.
  3. Make Roux: Add butter to the skillet with the browned beef. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour until it forms a smooth paste, which will help thicken the sauce.
  4. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the beef broth and milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer on medium heat, stirring constantly to thicken the sauce evenly.
  5. Season and Simmer: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Finish with Sour Cream: Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in the sour cream until smoothly combined. Avoid boiling the sauce after adding the sour cream to prevent curdling.
  7. Serve: Spoon the creamy ground beef stroganoff mixture over the warm cooked egg noodles and serve immediately for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For added flavor and texture, consider sautéing sliced mushrooms and onions with the ground beef.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest sauce, or substitute Greek yogurt for a lower-fat option.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving; additional salt and pepper can enhance flavor.
  • Do not boil the sauce after adding sour cream to avoid curdling.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
