Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 1 pound ground beef

Pasta:

  • 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles

Sauce and Seasoning:

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can fat-free condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare egg noodles in boiling water until al dente, following package timing, then thoroughly drain.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and brown ground beef, breaking into small crumbles while cooking.
  3. Carefully drain accumulated fat from the meat to ensure a clean, rich flavor profile.
  4. Incorporate cream of mushroom soup and garlic powder into the beef, stirring consistently to create a smooth, cohesive mixture.
  5. Allow the mixture to gently simmer, developing deeper flavors and melding ingredients together.
  6. Reduce skillet heat to low and fold in sour cream, creating a creamy, luxurious sauce that coats the meat evenly.
  7. Warm the stroganoff thoroughly, ensuring the sauce reaches a consistent temperature without boiling.
  8. Delicately season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
  9. Plate the warm beef mixture directly over the freshly cooked egg noodles, ensuring an even distribution of sauce and meat.
  10. Serve immediately while the stroganoff remains hot and the noodles retain their perfect texture.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef with lean turkey or plant-based crumbles for a healthier protein alternative.
  • Add diced mushrooms for extra texture and earthy flavor depth during beef cooking stage.
  • Balance rich sauce by incorporating fresh chopped parsley or chives as a bright garnish before serving.
  • Enhance dish’s umami profile by including a splash of Worcestershire sauce when seasoning the beef mixture.
