Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz egg noodles
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Equipment

  • large pot
  • skillet
  • whisk
  • wooden spoon
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • stovetop

Method
 

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer beef to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously for 2 minutes to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Cook for 3–4 minutes until thickened, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. Slowly whisk in milk and cook for 5–7 minutes over medium heat until creamy and thickened.
  6. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Add cooked noodles and browned beef back to the skillet. Stir until heated through and evenly coated with sauce.
  8. Stir in sour cream until fully incorporated and sauce is silky smooth. Serve hot with vegetables or garlic toast.

Notes

Pasta: Wide egg noodles work best, but any pasta can be substituted (limit to 6 ounces for proper sauce consistency).
Double It: This dish reheats perfectly, so double the recipe for easy leftovers.
Storage: Store cooled stroganoff in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
