Beef Stroganoff

A delicious and economic way to prepare Beef Stroganoff is to use a lean ground beef instead of a cut of beef which has to be sliced, which is also a time saver!

1 lb. lean ground beef
1` onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 c. low-sodium beef broth
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. ground allspice (When my son Alex prepares this for us, he likes to add 1/2 tsp. ground allspice which adds a lovely flavor)
3/4 c. sour cream
1 lb. whole wheat egg noodles, cooked

In a family skillet or large saute pan, brown, beef with onions and garlic. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. simmer over med/hi the until sauce thickens. Add sour cream and stir just until combined. Add egg noodles and combine. Enjoy!
