Description
A quick and delicious comfort food classic featuring creamy sauce, egg noodles, and ground beef, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- ¼ cup Butter
- ¼ cup Flour
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 ¼ cup Milk
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup Sour Cream
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, set them aside for later.
- Brown the Beef: While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Cook it while breaking it up with a spoon until you see no more pink. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Afterward, drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. Set it aside.
- Make the Roux: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
- Add the Beef Broth: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to stir over medium heat until the sauce thickens again. This will take about 5-7 minutes, and the sauce should be smooth and creamy.
- Season the Sauce: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
- Combine Noodles and Beef: Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and the browned ground beef back into the skillet, stirring until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Gently stir in the sour cream, mixing until fully incorporated into the sauce. This step adds a rich, tangy flavor that completes the dish.
- Serve: Serve the dish hot, paired with your favorite vegetable or a slice of garlic toast to create a complete meal.
Notes
For added flavor, serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and garlic bread.
