Ingredients

• 6 ounces Egg Noodles
• 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

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to create this delicious stroganoff.

Directions

1. Bring a pot of water to boil and add the egg noodles. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside for later.
2. While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned all over and no pink remains, 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 in the beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
5. Slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to stir over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
6. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, mixing well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
7. Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles and browned beef back into the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
8. Gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated into the sauce, adding a rich, tangy flavor to your dish.
9. Serve the stroganoff hot, accompanied by your favorite vegetable or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have egg noodles, you can use any pasta shape of your choice. Ground turkey or chicken can replace the beef for a lighter alternative.
• Optional Variations: Add sautéed mushrooms or peas for added texture and flavor. A splash of Worcestershire sauce can enhance the savory profile.
• Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if the sauce becomes too thick.
