Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 6 ounces Egg Noodles
Beef
- 1 pounds 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 the noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Brown the beef: While the noodles are cooking, 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 any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. Set 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 until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Add beef broth: Gradually pour beef broth into the roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Add milk and seasonings: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens and is creamy. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt evenly throughout the sauce.
- Combine noodles and beef: Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef back into the skillet, stirring gently until well combined and heated through.
- Finish with sour cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated, adding a rich and tangy flavor to the stroganoff sauce.
- Serve: Serve the hamburger stroganoff hot, paired with your favorite vegetable or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use wide egg noodles for best texture, but you can substitute any pasta you prefer. Avoid using more than 6 ounces of pasta to ensure the sauce coats well.
- Doubling the recipe is recommended as it reheats well and is great for leftovers.
- Drain the ground beef well to avoid greasy sauce.
- Adjust seasoning to taste if preferred spicier or saltier.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduce butter amount.
