Ingredients

Pasta

  • 6 ounces Egg Noodles

Meat

  • 1 pound Ground Beef

Sauce

  • ¼ cup Butter
  • ¼ cup Flour
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 ¼ cups 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 are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, 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, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux, which is a thickening base for the sauce.
  4. Add Beef Broth: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking and cooking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Incorporate Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously over medium heat until the sauce thickens further, about 5-7 minutes, resulting in a smooth and creamy texture.
  6. Season the Sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the sauce.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet, stirring to combine everything well and heat through.
  8. Add Sour Cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until it’s fully incorporated into the sauce, adding richness and a tangy flavor.
  9. Serve: Serve the stroganoff hot, ideally with your favorite vegetable side or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the milk slightly or cook a bit longer to achieve desired consistency.
  • If sour cream is not available, Greek yogurt works as a tangy alternative but add it off the heat to prevent curdling.
  • Fresh garlic and onion can be used instead of powder for a more robust flavor—sauté them before browning the beef.
  • Leftovers store well and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
