After the noodles are done, proceed with the recipe by stirring in the mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley.\nKeep in mind that if you end up with leftovers, however, separately boiled noodles will retain a better texture when reheating later.

Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the noodles are tender and the sauce is thickened. Watch the liquid and add a bit more broth if the noodles absorb all of it before they're finished cooking. After the noodles are done, proceed with the recipe by stirring in the mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley.  \n  \nKeep in mind that if you end up with leftovers, however, separately boiled noodles will retain a better texture when reheating later. Noodles cooked into the hamburger stroganoff have a tendency to absorb all of the extra sauce when it comes to leftovers.\n\n![Ground Beef Stroganoff aerial on plate.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-7.jpg)\n\n![Fork Knife Plate icon in teal.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Icon_ForkKnifePlate_Teal.png)\n\n## Yield + Storage\nLeftovers may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.   \n  \nI don't recommend freezing beef stroganoff since the sour cream sauce can separate or change texture upon thawing.  \n  \nTo reheat this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe, transfer to a saucepan, stir in a splash or beef broth or milk, and cook over medium-low heat until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave.\n\n![Ground Beef Stroganoff aerial zoom in pot.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-3.jpg)\n\nThis hearty Ground Beef Stroganoff makes a perfect family dinner, but it's also delicious enough to serve to guests.

Add the olive oil and butter until melted; swirl the pan. Add the mushrooms and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and transfer to a bowl or plate; set aside.\n- Return the pot to the heat and add the ground beef. Cook until no longer pink, breaking apart and stirring as the meat cooks; drain the grease. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add the beef broth to the pot, stir to combine, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes or until thickened. Add the mushrooms back to the pot along with the sour cream and half of the parsley. Stir to combine, adjust the salt and pepper to taste, and cook for a few more minutes until heated through.\n- Serve over hot egg noodles garnished with additional chopped parsley.\n\n### Equipment Needed\n- [Large Dutch Oven](https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Lodge-Cast-Iron-6-Quart-Enameled-Cast-Iron-Dutch-Oven-Blue\/5716692?aflt=cse)\n\n### Notes\n- You may skip the butter and sauté the veggies in 2 tablespoons of EVOO instead.\n- Feel free to use more or less mushrooms to your liking (anywhere from 8 to 16 ounces). However, keep in mind that doing so may require you to adjust the sautéing time for the mushrooms.\n- If you wish, you can add a thinly-sliced medium onion to this recipe, cooking it at the same time as the mushrooms.\n- If you prefer to turn this into a complete one-pot recipe, you can cook your egg noodles directly in your stroganoff instead of boiling them in a separate pot. (1.) Simply double the amount of beef broth and stir in 6 ounces (about one-third of a 16-ounce bag) of egg noodles. (2.) Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. (3.) Cook for 10 to 15 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the noodles are tender and the sauce is thickened.

There was no taste at all. After adding more salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and worcestershire sauce, we finallly resorted to using a package of Old El Paso taco seasoning (hot) to get a semblance of taste.

I always have ground beef in the fridge or freezer, meaning I can almost always throw together a dinner in 30 minutes or less.\n\nSo when I recently had a craving for beef stroganoff -- but didn't have any steak to put it together...and didn't have time to run to the grocery store -- I decided to give *beef stroganoff with ground beef* a whirl instead. And, based on the popularity of another classic recipe that I adapted to use ground beef ([Ground Beef and Broccoli](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/ground-beef-broccoli-recipe\/)), I shouldn't have been surprised that it was a roaring success\\!\n\nSeriously, y'all...this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe turned out *sooooo good\\!* Loaded with yummy ground beef and oodles of mushrooms, it's both hearty and filling. But in addition to being a stick-to-your-ribs kind of dinner, the creamy sauce is good enough to drink and the overall flavor of the dish is out of this world.\n\nMy mushroom-averse kids even ate the mushrooms, if that tells you anything. 😉\n\n![Ground Beef Stroganoff aerial view in pot.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-1.jpg)\n\n## Ingredients\nYou'll love that this Ground Beef Stroganoff comes together with ingredients you're likely to already have on hand\\!\n\n![Labeled ingredient to make Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxProcess-1.jpg)\n\n- **Ground beef.** While traditional stroganoff is made with thinly sliced beef of the steak variety, ground beef makes this recipe both readily accessible and budget-friendly. This recipe would also work with ground turkey, if you prefer.\n- **Butter + olive oil.** I like to use a combo of the two for flavor + higher smoke point. However, you can skip the butter and sauté the veggies in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil instead.\n- **Mushrooms.** I actually use a full 16 ounces of mushrooms when I make this recipe because I love 'em. Or you could use just 8 ounces if you prefer fewer mushrooms. Just remember that you may need to adjust the sautéing time for the mushrooms should you decide to use more or less. As for what kind of mushrooms to use, rest assured that humble white button mushrooms end up developing amazing flavor in this recipe. So it's really not necessary to splurge on something \"fancier.\" That being said, feel free to use your favorite variety of mushrooms -- *cremini would be great* -- if you like.\n- **Garlic.** Don't skimp on it! Also, I don't personally add any onion to my stroganoff, but if you wish to include it, thinly slice a medium onion and cook it at the same time as the mushrooms.\n- **Worcestershire sauce.** It just makes beef taste \"beefier.\"\n- **Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, + freshly ground black pepper.** For seasoning.\n- **Beef broth.** In place of actual beef broth, I often just use water plus [Org](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Better-Than-Bouillon-Seasoned-Blendable\/dp\/B005T7XORU?almBrandId=VUZHIFdob2xlIEZvb2Rz&crid=2WE0NVEAD7M82&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uyM7KIiGCw39oo1DZ2LE42ZTyrlKLeMyta7pqCI9ShfIOJ-MIdUAztm3RZMBAz_1stvpNnq1mNfA4lyW4AUF8vk6XYMGroNjVclXhImpS3Qmv1Ce9J9D6Q3fAdE8ZglnoB69Yg6RXNh-A8C4x1YgOC6R8B9BJZ_V5pQUIP7Yn4br-yndhVAvy2rDK-Mtv8Y4dd3IX_gFWvzi8hZw4X7-JFr8xhF2jR-rjTo5fEoaXvkxRN4IguUrsV9FwLTqtZJnEtPV8s2DrQPn3TnK7YL6Iw.FJaISZzX23CzPFBdbW2JaX1-vxfCc_KSFFRLINeFtk0&dib_tag=se&fpw=alm&keywords=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon&qid=1772149760&s=wholefoods&sprefix=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon%2Cwholefoods%2C126&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=fivheahom01-20&linkId=1f1a8ef912bf596894befe4668ac62e2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)[a](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Better-Than-Bouillon-Seasoned-Blendable\/dp\/B005T7XORU?almBrandId=VUZHIFdob2xlIEZvb2Rz&crid=2WE0NVEAD7M82&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uyM7KIiGCw39oo1DZ2LE42ZTyrlKLeMyta7pqCI9ShfIOJ-MIdUAztm3RZMBAz_1stvpNnq1mNfA4lyW4AUF8vk6XYMGroNjVclXhImpS3Qmv1Ce9J9D6Q3fAdE8ZglnoB69Yg6RXNh-A8C4x1YgOC6R8B9BJZ_V5pQUIP7Yn4br-yndhVAvy2rDK-Mtv8Y4dd3IX_gFWvzi8hZw4X7-JFr8xhF2jR-rjTo5fEoaXvkxRN4IguUrsV9FwLTqtZJnEtPV8s2DrQPn3TnK7YL6Iw.FJaISZzX23CzPFBdbW2JaX1-vxfCc_KSFFRLINeFtk0&dib_tag=se&fpw=alm&keywords=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon&qid=1772149760&s=wholefoods&sprefix=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon%2Cwholefoods%2C126&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=fivheahom01-20&linkId=1f1a8ef912bf596894befe4668ac62e2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)[nic Better Than Bouillon Beef Base](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Better-Than-Bouillon-Seasoned-Blendable\/dp\/B005T7XORU?almBrandId=VUZHIFdob2xlIEZvb2Rz&crid=2WE0NVEAD7M82&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uyM7KIiGCw39oo1DZ2LE42ZTyrlKLeMyta7pqCI9ShfIOJ-MIdUAztm3RZMBAz_1stvpNnq1mNfA4lyW4AUF8vk6XYMGroNjVclXhImpS3Qmv1Ce9J9D6Q3fAdE8ZglnoB69Yg6RXNh-A8C4x1YgOC6R8B9BJZ_V5pQUIP7Yn4br-yndhVAvy2rDK-Mtv8Y4dd3IX_gFWvzi8hZw4X7-JFr8xhF2jR-rjTo5fEoaXvkxRN4IguUrsV9FwLTqtZJnEtPV8s2DrQPn3TnK7YL6Iw.FJaISZzX23CzPFBdbW2JaX1-vxfCc_KSFFRLINeFtk0&dib_tag=se&fpw=alm&keywords=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon&qid=1772149760&s=wholefoods&sprefix=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon%2Cwholefoods%2C126&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=fivheahom01-20&linkId=1f1a8ef912bf596894befe4668ac62e2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl). But since it's salty, I always taste the recipe and stir in additional salt at the end only if needed (rather than adding a pre-measured amount of salt while the dish is cooking).

You'll actually start out by cooking the mushrooms before the beef. Sauté them along with your garlic until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.\n\n1. Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a plate and add the ground beef to the same pot.\n2. Brown the ground beef, drain, and then add the Worcestershire and all of the seasonings.\n\n1. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.\n\n1. Pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.\n\n![Adding beef broth to beef stroganoff with ground beef.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxProcess-9.jpg)\n\n1. Stir in the sour cream, the fresh parsley, and the previously cooked mushrooms.\n\n![Adding mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley to beef stroganoff recipe ground beef.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxProcess-10-1024x582.jpg)\n\n1. After everything is heated through, spoon your Ground Beef Stroganoff over hot egg noodles and enjoy\\!\n\n![Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe in pot and scooped up with ladle.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxProcess-11.jpg)\n\nSeriously, y'all...*how easy is that?\\!*\n\n![Ground Beef Stroganoff close-up in pot.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-2.jpg)\n\nA Note About the Noodles Served over golden egg noodles and sprinkled with more fresh parsley, this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe is the epitome of simple, scrumptious comfort food. **If you prefer to turn this into a complete one-pot recipe, you can cook your egg noodles directly in your stroganoff instead of boiling them in a separate pot.** Simply double the amount of beef broth and stir in 6 ounces (about one-third of a 16-ounce bag) of egg noodles. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the noodles are tender and the sauce is thickened. Watch the liquid and add a bit more broth if the noodles absorb all of it before they're finished cooking. After the noodles are done, proceed with the recipe by stirring in the mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley. Keep in mind that if you end up with leftovers, however, separately boiled noodles will retain a better texture when reheating later. Noodles cooked into the hamburger stroganoff have a tendency to absorb all of the extra sauce when it comes to leftovers.\n\n![Ground Beef Stroganoff aerial on plate.](https:\/\/www.fivehearthome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-7.jpg)\n\nYield + Storage Leftovers may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing beef stroganoff since the sour cream sauce can separate or change texture upon thawing.

Boilerpipe Text	Ground Beef Stroganoff is an easy, one-pot dinner that delivers all the classic comfort of traditional beef stroganoff in a quick weeknight recipe. Made with seasoned ground beef, tender mushrooms, and a creamy, from-scratch sour cream sauce, this simple recipe is the perfect shortcut for busy nights when you need a hearty, family-friendly meal fast! WANT TO SAVE THIS RECIPE? Enter your email below and we'll send it to your inbox. Plus get our best recipes every week! If you enjoy easy ground beef dinners, you'll also love Meatloaf Muffins , From-Scratch Swedish Meatballs , or tasty Ground Beef & Broccoli ! I've said it before and I'll say it again... recipes that start with a pound of ground beef are one of my go-tos on busy weeknights! I always have ground beef in the fridge or freezer, meaning I can almost always throw together a dinner in 30 minutes or less. So when I recently had a craving for beef stroganoff -- but didn't have any steak to put it together...and didn't have time to run to the grocery store -- I decided to give beef stroganoff with ground beef a whirl instead. And, based on the popularity of another classic recipe that I adapted to use ground beef ( Ground Beef and Broccoli ), I shouldn't have been surprised that it was a roaring success! Seriously, y'all...this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe turned out sooooo good! Loaded with yummy ground beef and oodles of mushrooms, it's both hearty and filling. But in addition to being a stick-to-your-ribs kind of dinner, the creamy sauce is good enough to drink and the overall flavor of the dish is out of this world. My mushroom-averse kids even ate the mushrooms, if that tells you anything. 😉 Ingredients You'll love that this Ground Beef Stroganoff comes together with ingredients you're likely to already have on hand! Ground beef. While traditional stroganoff is made with thinly sliced beef of the steak variety, ground beef makes this recipe both readily accessible and budget-friendly. This recipe would also work with ground turkey, if you prefer. Butter + olive oil. I like to use a combo of the two for flavor + higher smoke point. However, you can skip the butter and sauté the veggies in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil instead. Mushrooms. I actually use a full 16 ounces of mushrooms when I make this recipe because I love 'em. Or you could use just 8 ounces if you prefer fewer mushrooms. Just remember that you may need to adjust the sautéing time for the mushrooms should you decide to use more or less. As for what kind of mushrooms to use, rest assured that humble white button mushrooms end up developing amazing flavor in this recipe. So it's really not necessary to splurge on something "fancier." That being said, feel free to use your favorite variety of mushrooms -- cremini would be great -- if you like. Garlic. Don't skimp on it! Also, I don't personally add any onion to my stroganoff, but if you wish to include it, thinly slice a medium onion and cook it at the same time as the mushrooms. Worcestershire sauce. It just makes beef taste "beefier." Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, + freshly ground black pepper. For seasoning. Beef broth. In place of actual beef broth, I often just use water plus Org a nic Better Than Bouillon Beef Base . But since it's salty, I always taste the recipe and stir in additional salt at the end only if needed (rather than adding a pre-measured amount of salt while the dish is cooking). Alternatively, you can use low-sodium beef broth to give you more control over the ultimate saltiness of the dish. Sour cream. The key to that silky, luxurious gravy! Parsley. You can leave it out if you don't have any, but I just love the bright flavor and color that fresh parsley adds to this recipe. How to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff (The below steps are intended to give a helpful overview, but please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post for FULL DIRECTIONS.) Have I already mentioned how easy this recipe is to make? 😉 You could make it in a big skillet, but I actually prefer cooking it in a deep pot or Dutch oven instead because it reduces splatters and is just less messy overall. So how to make beef stroganoff with hamburger? You'll actually start out by cooking the mushrooms before the beef. Sauté them along with your garlic until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a plate and add the ground beef to the same pot. Brown the ground beef, drain, and then add the Worcestershire and all of the seasonings. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Stir in the sour cream, the fresh parsley, and the previously cooked mushrooms. After everything is heated through, spoon your Ground Beef Stroganoff over hot egg noodles and enjoy! Seriously, y'all... how easy is that?! A Note About the Noodles Served over golden egg noodles and sprinkled with more fresh parsley, this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe is the epitome of simple, scrumptious comfort food. If you prefer to turn this into a complete one-pot recipe, you can cook your egg noodles directly in your stroganoff instead of boiling them in a separate pot. Simply double the amount of beef broth and stir in 6 ounces (about one-third of a 16-ounce bag) of egg noodles. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the noodles are tender and the sauce is thickened. Watch the liquid and add a bit more broth if the noodles absorb all of it before they're finished cooking. After the noodles are done, proceed with the recipe by stirring in the mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley. Keep in mind that if you end up with leftovers, however, separately boiled noodles will retain a better texture when reheating later. Noodles cooked into the hamburger stroganoff have a tendency to absorb all of the extra sauce when it comes to leftovers. Yield + Storage Leftovers may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing beef stroganoff since the sour cream sauce can separate or change texture upon thawing. To reheat this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe, transfer to a saucepan, stir in a splash or beef broth or milk, and cook over medium-low heat until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave. This hearty Ground Beef Stroganoff makes a perfect family dinner, but it's also delicious enough to serve to guests. I guarantee that everyone will be fighting over the leftovers... if you're lucky enough to end up with any!

Have I already mentioned how easy this recipe is to make? 😉 You could make it in a big skillet, but I actually prefer cooking it in a deep pot or [Dutch oven](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096L33K8Y?asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2IM16A6ATHCV7&th=1&linkCode=ll2&tag=fivheahom01-20&linkId=5d2ecc039729c12dc9e8c544dc13af49&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) instead because it reduces splatters and is just less messy overall. So how to make beef stroganoff with hamburger? 1. You'll actually start out by cooking the mushrooms before the beef. Sauté them along with your garlic until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. ![Cooking mushrooms and garlic for easy Ground Beef Stroganoff.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxSquare-2-1024x1024.jpg) ![Cooked mushrooms in pot.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxSquare-3-1024x1024.jpg) 1. Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a plate and add the ground beef to the same pot. 2. Brown the ground beef, drain, and then add the Worcestershire and all of the seasonings. ![Hamburger beef stroganoff recipe.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxSquare-4-1024x1024.jpg) ![Beef stroganoff with ground beef.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxSquare-5-1024x1024.jpg) 1.

If you prefer to turn this into a complete one-pot recipe, you can cook your egg noodles directly in your stroganoff instead of boiling them in a separate pot. Simply double the amount of beef broth and stir in 6 ounces (about one-third of a 16-ounce bag) of egg noodles. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the noodles are tender and the sauce is thickened. Watch the liquid and add a bit more broth if the noodles absorb all of it before they're finished cooking. After the noodles are done, proceed with the recipe by stirring in the mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley. Keep in mind that if you end up with leftovers, however, separately boiled noodles will retain a better texture when reheating later. Noodles cooked into the hamburger stroganoff have a tendency to absorb all of the extra sauce when it comes to leftovers. ![Ground Beef Stroganoff aerial on plate.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-7.jpg) ![Fork Knife Plate icon in teal.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Icon_ForkKnifePlate_Teal.png) ## Yield + Storage Leftovers may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing beef stroganoff since the sour cream sauce can separate or change texture upon thawing. To reheat this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe, transfer to a saucepan, stir in a splash or beef broth or milk, and cook over medium-low heat until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave. ![Ground Beef Stroganoff aerial zoom in pot.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-3.jpg) This hearty Ground Beef Stroganoff makes a perfect family dinner, but it's also delicious enough to serve to guests.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, and transfer to a bowl or plate; set aside. - Return the pot to the heat and add the ground beef. Cook until no longer pink, breaking apart and stirring as the meat cooks; drain the grease. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add the beef broth to the pot, stir to combine, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes or until thickened. Add the mushrooms back to the pot along with the sour cream and half of the parsley.

However, keep in mind that doing so may require you to adjust the sautéing time for the mushrooms. - If you wish, you can add a thinly-sliced medium onion to this recipe, cooking it at the same time as the mushrooms. - If you prefer to turn this into a complete one-pot recipe, you can cook your egg noodles directly in your stroganoff instead of boiling them in a separate pot.

There was no taste at all. After adding more salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and worcestershire sauce, we finallly resorted to using a package of Old El Paso taco seasoning (hot) to get a semblance of taste. Sad to say, I would not recommend anyone to try this recipe - a huge disappointment. [Reply](https://www.fivehearthome.com/ground-beef-stroganoff/#comment-217754) 1.

It’s basically a homemade hamburger helper recipe. I also would add 2 cans of mushroom soup if I ran out of beef broth. It’s a great quick recipe. Thanks for sharing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...[recipes that start with a pound of ground beef](https://www.fivehearthome.com/easy-dinner-recipes-with-ground-beef/) are one of my go-tos on busy weeknights! I always have ground beef in the fridge or freezer, meaning I can almost always throw together a dinner in 30 minutes or less. So when I recently had a craving for beef stroganoff -- but didn't have any steak to put it together...and didn't have time to run to the grocery store -- I decided to give beef stroganoff with ground beef a whirl instead. And, based on the popularity of another classic recipe that I adapted to use ground beef ([Ground Beef and Broccoli](https://www.fivehearthome.com/ground-beef-broccoli-recipe/)), I shouldn't have been surprised that it was a roaring success\! Seriously, y'all...this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe turned out sooooo good\! Loaded with yummy ground beef and oodles of mushrooms, it's both hearty and filling. But in addition to being a stick-to-your-ribs kind of dinner, the creamy sauce is good enough to drink and the overall flavor of the dish is out of this world. My mushroom-averse kids even ate the mushrooms, if that tells you anything. 😉 ![Ground Beef Stroganoff aerial view in pot.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-1.jpg) ## Ingredients You'll love that this Ground Beef Stroganoff comes together with ingredients you're likely to already have on hand\! ![Labeled ingredient to make Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxProcess-1.jpg) - Ground beef. While traditional stroganoff is made with thinly sliced beef of the steak variety, ground beef makes this recipe both readily accessible and budget-friendly. This recipe would also work with ground turkey, if you prefer. - Butter + olive oil. I like to use a combo of the two for flavor + higher smoke point. However, you can skip the butter and sauté the veggies in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil instead. - Mushrooms. I actually use a full 16 ounces of mushrooms when I make this recipe because I love 'em. Or you could use just 8 ounces if you prefer fewer mushrooms. Just remember that you may need to adjust the sautéing time for the mushrooms should you decide to use more or less. As for what kind of mushrooms to use, rest assured that humble white button mushrooms end up developing amazing flavor in this recipe. So it's really not necessary to splurge on something "fancier." That being said, feel free to use your favorite variety of mushrooms -- cremini would be great -- if you like. - Garlic. Don't skimp on it! Also, I don't personally add any onion to my stroganoff, but if you wish to include it, thinly slice a medium onion and cook it at the same time as the mushrooms. - Worcestershire sauce. It just makes beef taste "beefier." - Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, + freshly ground black pepper. For seasoning. - Beef broth. In place of actual beef broth, I often just use water plus [Org](https://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Bouillon-Seasoned-Blendable/dp/B005T7XORU?almBrandId=VUZHIFdob2xlIEZvb2Rz&crid=2WE0NVEAD7M82&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uyM7KIiGCw39oo1DZ2LE42ZTyrlKLeMyta7pqCI9ShfIOJ-MIdUAztm3RZMBAz_1stvpNnq1mNfA4lyW4AUF8vk6XYMGroNjVclXhImpS3Qmv1Ce9J9D6Q3fAdE8ZglnoB69Yg6RXNh-A8C4x1YgOC6R8B9BJZ_V5pQUIP7Yn4br-yndhVAvy2rDK-Mtv8Y4dd3IX_gFWvzi8hZw4X7-JFr8xhF2jR-rjTo5fEoaXvkxRN4IguUrsV9FwLTqtZJnEtPV8s2DrQPn3TnK7YL6Iw.FJaISZzX23CzPFBdbW2JaX1-vxfCc_KSFFRLINeFtk0&dib_tag=se&fpw=alm&keywords=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon&qid=1772149760&s=wholefoods&sprefix=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon%2Cwholefoods%2C126&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=fivheahom01-20&linkId=1f1a8ef912bf596894befe4668ac62e2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)[a](https://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Bouillon-Seasoned-Blendable/dp/B005T7XORU?almBrandId=VUZHIFdob2xlIEZvb2Rz&crid=2WE0NVEAD7M82&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uyM7KIiGCw39oo1DZ2LE42ZTyrlKLeMyta7pqCI9ShfIOJ-MIdUAztm3RZMBAz_1stvpNnq1mNfA4lyW4AUF8vk6XYMGroNjVclXhImpS3Qmv1Ce9J9D6Q3fAdE8ZglnoB69Yg6RXNh-A8C4x1YgOC6R8B9BJZ_V5pQUIP7Yn4br-yndhVAvy2rDK-Mtv8Y4dd3IX_gFWvzi8hZw4X7-JFr8xhF2jR-rjTo5fEoaXvkxRN4IguUrsV9FwLTqtZJnEtPV8s2DrQPn3TnK7YL6Iw.FJaISZzX23CzPFBdbW2JaX1-vxfCc_KSFFRLINeFtk0&dib_tag=se&fpw=alm&keywords=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon&qid=1772149760&s=wholefoods&sprefix=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon%2Cwholefoods%2C126&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=fivheahom01-20&linkId=1f1a8ef912bf596894befe4668ac62e2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)[nic Better Than Bouillon Beef Base](https://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Bouillon-Seasoned-Blendable/dp/B005T7XORU?almBrandId=VUZHIFdob2xlIEZvb2Rz&crid=2WE0NVEAD7M82&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uyM7KIiGCw39oo1DZ2LE42ZTyrlKLeMyta7pqCI9ShfIOJ-MIdUAztm3RZMBAz_1stvpNnq1mNfA4lyW4AUF8vk6XYMGroNjVclXhImpS3Qmv1Ce9J9D6Q3fAdE8ZglnoB69Yg6RXNh-A8C4x1YgOC6R8B9BJZ_V5pQUIP7Yn4br-yndhVAvy2rDK-Mtv8Y4dd3IX_gFWvzi8hZw4X7-JFr8xhF2jR-rjTo5fEoaXvkxRN4IguUrsV9FwLTqtZJnEtPV8s2DrQPn3TnK7YL6Iw.FJaISZzX23CzPFBdbW2JaX1-vxfCc_KSFFRLINeFtk0&dib_tag=se&fpw=alm&keywords=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon&qid=1772149760&s=wholefoods&sprefix=organic+beef+better+than+bouillon%2Cwholefoods%2C126&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=fivheahom01-20&linkId=1f1a8ef912bf596894befe4668ac62e2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl). But since it's salty, I always taste the recipe and stir in additional salt at the end only if needed (rather than adding a pre-measured amount of salt while the dish is cooking).

The key to that silky, luxurious gravy\! - Parsley. You can leave it out if you don't have any, but I just love the bright flavor and color that fresh parsley adds to this recipe. ![Ground Beef Stroganoff close-up over egg noodles on plate.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-9.jpg) ## How to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff (The below steps are intended to give a helpful overview, but please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post for FULL DIRECTIONS.) Have I already mentioned how easy this recipe is to make? 😉 You could make it in a big skillet, but I actually prefer cooking it in a deep pot or [Dutch oven](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096L33K8Y?asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2IM16A6ATHCV7&th=1&linkCode=ll2&tag=fivheahom01-20&linkId=5d2ecc039729c12dc9e8c544dc13af49&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) instead because it reduces splatters and is just less messy overall. So how to make beef stroganoff with hamburger? 1. You'll actually start out by cooking the mushrooms before the beef. Sauté them along with your garlic until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. 1. Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a plate and add the ground beef to the same pot. 2. Brown the ground beef, drain, and then add the Worcestershire and all of the seasonings. 1. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. 1. Pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. ![Adding beef broth to beef stroganoff with ground beef.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxProcess-9.jpg) 1. Stir in the sour cream, the fresh parsley, and the previously cooked mushrooms. ![Adding mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley to beef stroganoff recipe ground beef.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxProcess-10-1024x582.jpg) 1. After everything is heated through, spoon your Ground Beef Stroganoff over hot egg noodles and enjoy\! ![Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe in pot and scooped up with ladle.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff-Recipe_1200pxProcess-11.jpg) Seriously, y'all...how easy is that?\! ![Ground Beef Stroganoff close-up in pot.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-2.jpg) A Note About the Noodles Served over golden egg noodles and sprinkled with more fresh parsley, this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe is the epitome of simple, scrumptious comfort food. If you prefer to turn this into a complete one-pot recipe, you can cook your egg noodles directly in your stroganoff instead of boiling them in a separate pot. Simply double the amount of beef broth and stir in 6 ounces (about one-third of a 16-ounce bag) of egg noodles. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the noodles are tender and the sauce is thickened. Watch the liquid and add a bit more broth if the noodles absorb all of it before they're finished cooking. After the noodles are done, proceed with the recipe by stirring in the mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley. Keep in mind that if you end up with leftovers, however, separately boiled noodles will retain a better texture when reheating later. Noodles cooked into the hamburger stroganoff have a tendency to absorb all of the extra sauce when it comes to leftovers. ![Ground Beef Stroganoff aerial on plate.](https://www.fivehearthome.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Ground-Beef-Stroganoff_1200px-7.jpg) Yield + Storage Leftovers may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing beef stroganoff since the sour cream sauce can separate or change texture upon thawing. To reheat this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe, transfer to a saucepan, stir in a splash or beef broth or milk, and cook over medium-low heat until heated through.

Add the olive oil and butter until melted; swirl the pan. Add the mushrooms and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and transfer to a bowl or plate; set aside. - Return the pot to the heat and add the ground beef. Cook until no longer pink, breaking apart and stirring as the meat cooks; drain the grease. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add the beef broth to the pot, stir to combine, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes or until thickened. Add the mushrooms back to the pot along with the sour cream and half of the parsley. Stir to combine, adjust the salt and pepper to taste, and cook for a few more minutes until heated through. - Serve over hot egg noodles garnished with additional chopped parsley. - You may skip the butter and sauté the veggies in 2 tablespoons of EVOO instead. - Feel free to use more or less mushrooms to your liking (anywhere from 8 to 16 ounces). However, keep in mind that doing so may require you to adjust the sautéing time for the mushrooms. - If you wish, you can add a thinly-sliced medium onion to this recipe, cooking it at the same time as the mushrooms. - If you prefer to turn this into a complete one-pot recipe, you can cook your egg noodles directly in your stroganoff instead of boiling them in a separate pot. (1.) Simply double the amount of beef broth and stir in 6 ounces (about one-third of a 16-ounce bag) of egg noodles. (2.) Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. (3.) Cook for 10 to 15 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the noodles are tender and the sauce is thickened. Watch the liquid and add a bit more broth if the noodles absorb all of it before they're finished cooking. (4.) After the noodles are done, proceed with the recipe by stirring in the mushrooms, sour cream, and parsley. - Leftovers may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing beef stroganoff since the sour cream sauce can separate or change texture upon thawing. - To reheat this Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe, transfer to a saucepan, stir in a splash or beef broth or milk, and cook over medium-low heat until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat individual servings in the microwave. - Keep in mind that if you end up with leftovers, separately boiled noodles will retain a better texture when reheating. Noodles cooked into the hamburger stroganoff have a tendency to absorb all of the extra sauce when it comes to leftovers.
