Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Egg Noodles
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 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 Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. 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 fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, 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, whisk in the flour continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux, which will help thicken the sauce.
  4. Add Beef Broth: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Incorporate Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth and creamy.
  6. Season the Sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until the seasonings are fully incorporated throughout the sauce.
  7. Combine Noodles and Beef: Reduce heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat through evenly.
  8. Add Sour Cream: Gently fold in the sour cream until fully integrated into the sauce, adding a rich and tangy flavor to the stroganoff.
  9. Serve: Serve hot, optionally paired with your favorite vegetable or a slice of garlic toast for a complete comforting meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add sautéed mushrooms or onions when cooking the ground beef.
  • Use low-fat sour cream for a lighter version without sacrificing creaminess.
  • Ensure you whisk the roux thoroughly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad.
