  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 6 ounces Egg Noodles

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • ¼ cup Flour
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1¼ 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 cooked, 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 no pink remains and the beef is fully browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. Set aside.
  3. 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 smooth roux.
  4. Add beef broth: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to stir over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5 to 7 minutes. The sauce should become smooth and creamy in texture.
  6. Season the sauce: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, ensuring the seasonings are fully blended into the sauce.
  7. Combine beef and noodles: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
  8. Add sour cream: Gently stir in the sour cream, mixing until it is fully incorporated, adding richness and a tangy flavor to the dish.
  9. Serve: Serve the stroganoff hot, ideally accompanied by your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer a little longer after adding the milk.
  • Drain excess fat from the beef to avoid a greasy sauce.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Egg noodles can be swapped out for other pasta shapes like fettuccine or pappardelle.
  • Adding mushrooms or onions when browning the beef can enhance flavor.
