Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 6 ounces Egg Noodles

Beef and Sauce

  • 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 large pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Once tender, drain and set aside for later use.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: While noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until completely browned and no pink remains, approximately 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, whisk in the flour continuously for about 2 minutes until the mixture forms a smooth paste and starts to bubble.
  4. Add Beef Broth: Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Incorporate Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, maintaining medium heat and stirring continuously until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes. The resulting sauce should be creamy and smooth.
  6. Season the Sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the sauce.
  7. Combine Beef and Noodles: Reduce heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles along with the browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir gently to combine and heat through thoroughly.
  8. Add Sour Cream: Remove the skillet from heat. Gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated, lending the dish a velvety, tangy richness.
  9. Serve: Serve the stroganoff hot, ideally paired with a side of your favorite steamed vegetable or garlic toast to complete the meal.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute milk with low-fat milk or use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • Vegetables like mushrooms or peas can be added when making the sauce for extra nutrition.
  • Be sure to whisk constantly when adding broth and milk to prevent lumps in the sauce.
  • Drain excess grease from the ground beef to avoid a greasy sauce.
  • This recipe can be made dairy-free by using plant-based milk and sour cream alternatives.
