Ingredients
6 ounces egg noodles
1 pound ground beef (85/15 fat ratio)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
Boil a large pot of water and cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente.
Drain the noodles and set aside.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and brown thoroughly.
Stir in the butter and flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth and milk until smooth.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Simmer the sauce until it thickens and becomes velvety.
Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream.
Toss the cooked noodles into the sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure you cook the noodles to al dente so they do not get mushy when tossed in sauce. Adding the sour cream off the heat is critical to prevent curdling. You can upgrade with fresh garlic or fresh herbs like parsley if available.
