A creamy, comforting skillet meal made with ground beef and egg noodles, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces egg noodles (about half a standard package)
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for optimal flavor)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (full fat is best)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, breaking it up while cooking until no pink remains, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes.
  4. Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk and stir over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  7. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned beef back into the skillet, stirring until combined and warmed through.
  8. Remove the pan from heat and gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch slurry instead of flour.
