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 Black 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 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 all the pink is gone and the beef is fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. 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.
  4. Add beef broth: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Incorporate milk: Slowly whisk in the milk and continue stirring over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes, resulting in a smooth and creamy texture.
  6. Season the sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, ensuring the seasonings are evenly mixed into the sauce.
  7. Combine noodles and beef: Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
  8. Add sour cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated into the sauce, adding richness and a tangy flavor to the dish.
  9. Serve: Serve the ground beef stroganoff hot, optionally paired with a side of vegetables or garlic toast for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or onions when browning the beef.
  • Use low-fat milk or half-and-half depending on your desired richness.
  • Ensure to whisk continuously when making the roux and adding liquids to avoid lumps.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
