# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 6 ounces egg noodles
02 - 1 pound ground beef
03 - 1/4 cup butter
04 - 1/4 cup flour
05 - 1 cup beef broth
06 - 1 1/4 cups milk
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 cup sour cream

# Instructions:

01 - Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside for later use.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate. Set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to make a roux.
04 - 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.
05 - Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the sauce is smooth and creamy.
06 - Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, distributing the seasonings evenly throughout the sauce.
07 - 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.
08 - Gently stir in the sour cream, ensuring it is fully incorporated into the sauce. The sour cream will add a rich and tangy flavor.
09 - Serve the dish hot, complemented with your favorite vegetable or garlic toast for a complete meal.

# Notes:

01 - Consider doubling the recipe for larger gatherings as it is often requested for seconds.
