Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the egg noodles for 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain and keep warm.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Melt butter in the skillet, then whisk in flour for about 2 minutes until smooth and golden.
  4. Gradually add beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thick and bubbly.
  5. Slowly add milk, whisking continuously. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until creamy.
  6. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to season the sauce.
  7. Fold in the browned ground beef and cooked noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes to combine.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until evenly blended.
