Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- ¼ cup Butter
- ¼ cup Flour
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 ¼ cups Milk
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup Sour Cream
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the egg noodles. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- 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 fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate.
- 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 roux that will thicken the sauce.
- Prepare the Sauce: Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Slowly add the milk while stirring constantly until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the Sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until evenly incorporated.
- Combine and Heat: Reduce the heat to low, then add the cooked noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat everything through evenly.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a rich and tangy sauce.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with your favorite vegetables or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.
Notes
- Be sure to cook the egg noodles until just al dente for the best texture; they will absorb some sauce and continue cooking slightly when combined.
- Drain off excess fat after browning the beef to keep the dish from being greasy.
- Whisk continuously when making the roux and adding liquids to avoid lumps in the sauce.
- Sour cream should be added last and stirred gently to prevent curdling.
- Feel free to add mushrooms or onions while browning the beef for extra flavor.
- This stroganoff can be garnished with fresh parsley for a bright finish.
