Dry Ingredients
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients and Seasonings
- 1 pounds Ground Beef
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the egg noodles, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the beef: While the noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate.
- Make the roux: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
- Prepare the sauce: Gradually whisk in the beef broth into the roux, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, approximately 3-4 minutes. Then, slowly add the milk and stir until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
- Season the sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt, ensuring even distribution of seasonings.
- Combine everything: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked noodles and browned ground beef to the skillet, mixing well and heating through.
- Finish with sour cream: Gently stir in sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a rich, tangy sauce. Serve hot.
Notes
- Tip: You can swap out the egg noodles for any pasta variety, but be sure not to use more than 6 ounces to keep the sauce balanced.
- This dish rewarms well, making it perfect for leftovers.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based protein.
