Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454g) Ground Beef
- 6 oz (170g) Egg Noodles
Dairy and Thickening Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (56g) Butter
- 1/4 cup (30g) All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/4 cup (300ml) Milk
- 1/4 cup (60g) Sour Cream
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240ml) Beef Broth
- 1/2 teaspoon (1.5g) Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (1.5g) Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (1g) Black Pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon (4.5g) Salt
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook ground beef, breaking it into crumbles until completely browned, approximately 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer beef to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and create a smooth roux by whisking flour continuously for 2 minutes over medium heat.
- Gradually pour beef broth into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add milk to the sauce, stirring consistently. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
- Season the sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Reduce heat to low and incorporate browned ground beef and cooked egg noodles into the sauce. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Fold in sour cream, mixing until fully integrated and sauce appears smooth and creamy.
- Plate the hamburger stroganoff and serve immediately with complementary side vegetables like roasted broccoli or steamed green beans.
Notes
- Customize noodle texture by cooking slightly less for al dente or longer for softer consistency.
- Drain beef thoroughly to prevent excess grease and ensure a cleaner, more robust flavor profile.
- Use lean ground beef (90/10) for a healthier version without compromising taste and richness.
- Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a protein-packed, lower-fat alternative that maintains creamy texture.
