Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up until it's fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder into the browned beef, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Sprinkle cornstarch over the seasoned beef and stir for about 30 seconds to coat evenly.
  4. Remove beef from the skillet and pour in beef broth, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the bottom and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Stir in the egg pasta and cover, reducing heat to simmer for 8 minutes.
  6. Return the browned beef to the skillet, add cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Mix over low heat.
  7. Stir in paprika and simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes before serving.
