Ground Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
- 1 pounds Ground Beef
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
Directions
- 1
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook noodles according to package directions. Once cooked, set a side for later.
- 2
While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until all the pink is gone and the beef is fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. Set aside.
- 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
- 4
Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
- 5
Slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to stir over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes. The sauce should be smooth and creamy.
- 6
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
- 7
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef to the skillet, stirring until everything is well combined and heated through.
- 8
Gently stir in the sour cream, mixing until fully incorporated into the sauce. The sour cream will add a rich, tangy flavor to the dish.
- 9
Serve the dish hot, paired with your favorite vegetable or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.
