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 large pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned.
- Drain the excess fat, transfer the cooked beef to a plate, and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
- Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a smooth roux.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Reduce the heat to low. Return the cooked ground beef and egg noodles to the skillet and stir until evenly coated and heated through.
- Gently stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Serve hot with vegetables, a side salad, or garlic bread.
Notes
- For larger families or planned leftovers, double the recipe.
- Add the milk gradually while whisking to prevent lumps.
- Reduce the heat before adding the sour cream so it stays smooth.
- Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if the sauce becomes too thick.
