Ingredients

Pasta

  • 6 ounces Egg Noodles

Main Ingredients

  • 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 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 they are tender and cooked through, 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 it thoroughly, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains and it is fully browned—this usually takes about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then 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, sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to cook the flour and form a smooth roux that will thicken the sauce.
  4. Add Beef Broth to Roux: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Keep whisking until the sauce thickens, which will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously over medium heat until the sauce thickens again and becomes smooth and creamy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Season the Sauce: Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt into the sauce, whisking to distribute the seasonings evenly for a flavorful base.
  7. Combine Noodles and Beef: Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles along with the browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat everything through evenly.
  8. Add Sour Cream: Gently fold in the sour cream until it is fully incorporated into the sauce, giving the stroganoff a rich, tangy flavor and creamy texture.
  9. Serve: Serve the stroganoff hot immediately. For a complete meal, pair it with your favorite steamed vegetable or a slice of garlic toast.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain excess fat from the ground beef to avoid a greasy sauce.
  • Use whole milk for a creamier sauce; low-fat milk will result in a lighter texture.
  • Sour cream should be added off the heat or on low heat to prevent curdling.
  • Egg noodles can be substituted with other pasta shapes like fettuccine or penne if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, consider sautéing some mushrooms with the beef before making the roux.
