Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
Beef
- 1 pound Ground Beef
Sauce
- 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 Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside for later use.
- Brown Ground Beef: While the noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. Set aside.
- Make Roux: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a smooth roux.
- Add Beef Broth: Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Add Milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy with a thickened consistency.
- Season Sauce: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, mixing well to evenly distribute the seasonings in the sauce.
- Combine Meat and Noodles: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet, stirring gently until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Add Sour Cream: Gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated, creating a rich, tangy Stroganoff sauce.
- Serve: Serve the Hamburger Stroganoff hot, paired with your favorite vegetable side or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use wide egg noodles for best texture, but any pasta up to 6 ounces will work without affecting the sauce consistency.
- Doubling the recipe is recommended as it reheats well and makes a great second meal.
- Be sure to drain excess fat from the ground beef to avoid a greasy sauce.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute whole milk with half-and-half or light cream if desired.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt and pepper, depending on your broth's sodium content.
