Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 ounces Egg Noodles
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Opt for lean beef for a healthier version.
  • ¼ cup Butter Add richness and thickness to the sauce.
  • ¼ cup Flour Used to thicken the sauce.
  • 1 cup Beef Broth Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1 ¼ cup Milk Can be substituted with low-fat or almond milk.
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder Infuses flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder Adds depth to the flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning.
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream Adds a rich, tangy flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the egg noodles in a pot of boiling water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef, cooking and breaking it up until fully browned (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat and set aside.
Cooking the Sauce
  1. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat, then whisk in flour continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
  2. Gradually add beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and cook until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Whisk in the milk and continue stirring until the sauce thickens again (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Add garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt, stirring to combine.
  5. Reduce heat to low, then stir in cooked noodles and browned beef until well combined and heated through.
  6. Gently mix in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, paired with vegetables or garlic toast.

Notes

For a healthier version, use lean ground beef or ground turkey. Store components separately for meal prep to avoid mushy noodles. Gluten-free options are available by substituting with gluten-free pasta and cornstarch.
