Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Noodles
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
For the Beef
- 1 pound Ground Beef
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 1/4 cups Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Finishing Touch
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Use a spoon to break it apart, cooking until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer to a plate.
- Make the Roux: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until combined and slightly toasted.
- Add Liquids and Thicken: Gradually pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Then, whisk in the milk and cook, stirring, until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt evenly into the sauce.
- Combine and Heat: Lower the heat to low. Add the cooked noodles and browned ground beef to the skillet. Stir well to incorporate everything and heat through.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and well-blended. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite vegetables or garlic bread if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute wide egg noodles with other pasta varieties; just ensure not to use more than 6 ounces raw weight to maintain sauce consistency.
- This dish reheats well, making it a great option for leftovers.
- Doubling the recipe is recommended for larger families or meal prep.
