Description

30-Minute Ground Beef Stroganoff is a quick and creamy comfort food classic made with tender egg noodles, savory ground beef, and a rich sour cream sauce.


Ingredients

  • 6 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup sour cream


Instructions

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef for 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  3. Melt butter in the same skillet and whisk in flour for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth and slightly thickened.
  5. Slowly whisk in milk and cook until the sauce becomes creamy and thick.
  6. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Add cooked noodles and ground beef back into the skillet. Mix well.
  8. Reduce heat to low and gently stir in sour cream until fully combined.
  9. Serve hot with optional sides like vegetables or garlic bread.

Notes

  • Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest texture.
  • Do not boil after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  • Add mushrooms or onions for extra flavor if desired.
