  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

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 salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain the noodles and set them aside for later use.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, and cook it while breaking it apart with a spoon until fully browned and no pink remains, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Drain off 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 fully melted, sprinkle the flour in and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and form a smooth roux.
  4. Add the Beef Broth: Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the Milk: Slowly add the milk to the sauce, whisking continuously and cooking over medium heat until the sauce thickens again and becomes smooth and creamy, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Season the Sauce: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt evenly into the thickened sauce, blending the flavors well.
  7. Combine Noodles and Beef: Lower the heat to low, add the drained noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet, and stir gently to combine and heat everything through.
  8. Finish with Sour Cream: Carefully fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a rich, tangy finish to the creamy stroganoff sauce.
  9. Serve: Serve the ground beef stroganoff hot with a side of your favorite vegetable or garlic toast to complete the meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of milk slightly or cook the sauce a bit longer to reach the desired consistency.
  • Drain the ground beef well to avoid a greasy or watery sauce.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for added color and freshness.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed green beans, broccoli, or a crisp salad.
