  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Season the Sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to evenly season the sauce.
  7. 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.
  8. Finish with Sour Cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated, giving the sauce a rich and tangy finish.
  9. 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.
