Ingredients
Pasta
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
Beef
- 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
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside for later use.
- Brown the Ground Beef: While the noodles cook, 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 and transfer the beef to a plate, then set aside.
- Make the Roux: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and form a roux.
- Add Beef Broth: Gradually pour beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk and continue stirring over medium heat until the sauce thickens again and becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the Sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to evenly season the sauce.
- Combine Ingredients: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir well to combine and warm everything through.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated, giving the sauce a rich and tangy finish.
- Serve: Serve the ground beef stroganoff hot, ideally paired with your favorite vegetable side or a slice of garlic toast for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat sour cream.
- Make sure to whisk constantly while adding liquids to avoid lumps in the sauce.
- You can substitute egg noodles with other pasta like fettuccine or wide ribbon noodles if preferred.
- To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free flour or cornstarch in place of the all-purpose flour for the roux.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
