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 cups Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside for later.
  2. 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 it is fully browned and no pink remains, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then transfer the beef to a plate temporarily.
  3. 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. This creates a roux that will thicken the stroganoff sauce.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking as the mixture thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Slowly add the milk, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Season the Sauce: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until evenly combined to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
  6. Combine and Heat: Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and the browned ground beef back into the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow everything to heat through evenly.
  7. Finish with Sour Cream: Gently stir in the sour cream until it is fully incorporated into the sauce, creating a rich and tangy finishing touch.
  8. Serve: Serve the hamburger stroganoff hot, optionally garnished with your favorite vegetables or alongside a slice of garlic toast for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can cook the roux a little longer before adding the liquids.
  • For a lighter version, substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Adding mushrooms or caramelized onions can enhance the flavor and texture, making it closer to traditional stroganoff.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
