Description

Creamy, cozy, and on the table in 30 minutes—this Ground Beef Stroganoff is your new weeknight favorite. It’s pantry-friendly, no mushrooms required, and guaranteed to make everyone ask for seconds.


Ingredients

Scale

6 oz egg noodles

1 lb ground beef (80/20)

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 (or Greek yogurt)


Instructions

1. Cook egg noodles for 2 minutes less than package instructions; do not rinse.

2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef until fully cooked; drain and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk for 2 minutes.

4. Gradually add beef broth, whisking constantly until thickened.

5. Slowly whisk in milk. Simmer until sauce thickens again.

6. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt.

7. Reduce heat to low. Add ground beef and noodles. Mix to combine.

8. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth and creamy.

9. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.

Recipe avoids mushrooms for pantry ease, but feel free to add them in.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat with a splash of milk to keep the sauce creamy.

Freezer-friendly for up to 3 months—freeze sauce and noodles separately for best texture.
