Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 6 ounces of egg noodles and cook for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain noodles and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat and set beef aside.
- Melt ¼ cup of butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in ¼ cup of flour until it forms a smooth paste that lightly bubbles for about 2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in 1 cup of beef broth while whisking continuously. Increase heat to medium and cook for about 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Whisk in 1¼ cups of milk until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until thickened further.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Reduce heat to low and fold in browned ground beef and cooked egg noodles into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup of sour cream until combined. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
