It was a random weekday night and my inspiration for dinner was at an all time low. I had no idea what to cook. There was no meat defrosting on the counter. And every ounce of motivation had left my body. Knowing my husband was on his way home I needed to come up with something I could throw together quickly, that would also be yummy! So I searched “quick and easy dinner ideas” on Pinterest and voila! This beef stroganoff recipe appeared! After checking to confirm I had all of the ingredients, I got to work.

Needless to say, this came out beautifully and will be added to my meal rotation. We liked it so much I just had to share it with you! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 6 ounces Egg Noodles
• 1 pounds Ground Beef
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1/4 cup Flour
• 1 cup Beef Broth
• 1 1/4 cup Milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup Sour Cream

Instructions:

• Bring a pot of water to boil and cook noodles according to package directions. Once cooked, set a side for later.
• 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 all the pink is gone and the beef is fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. Set aside.
• In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
• Gradually pour the beef broth into the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
• Slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to stir over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes. The sauce should be smooth and creamy.
• Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
• 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.
• Gently stir in the sour cream, mixing until fully incorporated into the sauce. The sour cream will add a rich, tangy flavor to the dish.
• Serve the dish hot, paired with your favorite vegetable or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.
