Ingredients
Scale
6 ounces egg noodles
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, drain, and set aside.
While the noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat, then transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and form a roux.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Slowly whisk in the milk and continue stirring over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5 to 7 minutes. It should be smooth and creamy.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and the browned ground beef back to the skillet. Stir until everything is heated through and well combined.
Remove from heat and gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Serve hot.
Notes
Serve with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and good side pairings include a crisp green salad and garlic toast.
