# Let's Cook!:
01 -
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
02 -
While the noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned with no pink remaining. Drain any excess fat, then transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour, whisking continuously for about 2 minutes to create a smooth roux.
04 -
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Continue to whisk for 3-4 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
05 -
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring over medium heat until the sauce thickens again, about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
06 -
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, mixing well to distribute the flavors.
07 -
Reduce the heat to low, add the cooked noodles and ground beef back into the skillet, and stir until fully combined and heated through.
08 -
Gently stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth with a hint of tang.

Enjoy this comforting dish hot, with a side of vegetables or a slice of garlic toast for a complete meal.
