Ingredients
  

For the Stroganoff
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • 8 ounces Egg Noodles Opt for high-quality noodles for better sauce absorption.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Margarine can be used as a dairy-free alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Flour Gluten-free flour is an excellent substitute if needed.
  • 2 cups Beef Broth Low-sodium broth keeps the dish healthier.
  • 1 cup Milk Try Greek yogurt or cream cheese for a new twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic works well for a bolder taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Sautéed fresh onions can add texture and taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Essential for seasoning to your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning to your preference.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Add it off the heat to prevent curdling.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook them according to package instructions, about 7-9 minutes, until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook for about 6-8 minutes until uniformly brown; drain excess fat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, and melt completely. Sprinkle in the flour, whisking continuously for about 2 minutes to create a golden roux.
  4. Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Stir in the milk and cook for about 5-7 minutes until thick and smooth, stirring occasionally.
  6. Incorporate garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to taste; mix well until fully blended.
  7. Lower the heat and mix the cooked noodles and browned beef into the skillet, stirring until well-coated with the sauce.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated; serve hot garnished as desired.
