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 Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside for later use.
  2. Brown Ground Beef: While the noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, transfer beef to a plate, and set aside.
  3. Make 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 roux, ensuring no lumps develop.
  4. Add Beef Broth: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring over medium heat until the sauce thickens again and becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Season Sauce: Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to the sauce, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavors.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir to combine thoroughly and heat through.
  8. Finish with Sour Cream: Gently fold in the sour cream, stirring until the sauce is rich and creamy with a tangy flavor well incorporated. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of broth substitutes.
  • Drain excess fat from beef to prevent the sauce from becoming greasy.
  • Be careful when adding sour cream; add it off the heat or on low to prevent curdling.
  • Egg noodles can be substituted with fettuccine or other pasta shapes if preferred.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for 2-3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
