Ingredients
Pasta
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles Feel free to swap for gluten-free noodles.
Meat
- 1 pound Ground Beef Ground turkey can be used for a lighter version.
Sauce Ingredients
- ¼ cup Butter For creating a roux.
- ¼ cup Flour For thickening the sauce.
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 ¼ cup Milk For creaminess.
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup Sour Cream Add for tangy richness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour, cooking for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring until the sauce thickens once more, about 5-7 minutes. Aim for a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt, ensuring an even distribution of seasonings.
Combine
- Reduce heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles and browned beef to the skillet. Stir until well combined and heated through.
- Gently fold in the sour cream, mixing until fully incorporated. Serve hot.
Notes
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Pair with vegetables or garlic toast.
