Ingredients

• 6 oz egg noodles

• 1 lb ground beef

• ¼ cup butter

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup beef broth

• 1¼ cups milk

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp salt

• ¼ cup sour cream

Directions

1. Cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

2. Brown the beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until fully browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

3. Make the roux: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux.

4. Add the broth: Gradually pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3–4 minutes.

5. Incorporate the milk: Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5–7 minutes. The sauce should be smooth and creamy.

6. Season the sauce: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

7. Combine ingredients: Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked egg noodles and browned ground beef to the skillet, stirring until everything is well combined and heated through.

8. Finish with sour cream: Gently stir in the sour cream, mixing until fully incorporated into the sauce.

9. Serve: Serve the dish hot, paired with your favorite vegetable or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.
