Cooking Instructions
- Boil a pot of water and add the egg noodles. Cook for 2 minutes less than the package directs until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add butter to the same skillet and melt it over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until golden.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it thicken for about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Gently fold in the cooked noodles and browned beef, mixing until well coated.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream until blended.
- Serve hot, optionally with steamed veggies or garlic toast.
Notes
Do not overcook the noodles; ensure they are al dente. The sauce can be thickened using cornstarch if preferred.
