Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Pasta
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
For the Ground Beef
- 1 pound Ground Beef
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
For Finish and Serving
- 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 the package instructions, typically 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the Beef: 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 fully browned and 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 the flour and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes to form a roux, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
- Prepare the Sauce: Gradually pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Then, slowly add the milk, stirring until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the Sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt until well incorporated.
- Combine Pasta and Beef: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet, stirring to combine and heat through.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until fully blended into the sauce, adding a creamy, tangy flavor.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with vegetables or garlic toast if desired.
Notes
- Pasta tip: Any pasta can be used, but stick to around 6 ounces for proper sauce coating.
- Doubling the recipe is recommended for leftovers that reheat well and are crowd-pleasers.
- You can add mushrooms or other vegetables to the beef for extra flavor and texture.
