What it tastes like
: Beef and mushrooms add flavor while the sauce is creamy with a savory taste from the broth a little bit of tang from the sour cream.
Fresh ingredients:
Skip the condensed mushroom soup, the stroganoff sauce is made with broth and sour cream.
Test kitchen notes:
This ground beef stroganoff recipe has been made hundreds of times and is best made with lean ground beef. Condensed broth will add extra richness. If using low-sodium broth, add a beef bouillon cube.
Kitchen tip:
When browning ground beef, I like to let it brown for 3 to 4 minutes before breaking it up. This gets a nice brown crust on one side adding extra flavor.
Ingredient Notes for Ground Beef Stroganoff
Ground Beef:
Use lean beef as it has a bit of fat for flavor.
Mushrooms
: I prefer brown or cremini mushrooms for a deeper mushroom flavor, but any type of mushrooms will work in this recipe.
Stroganoff Sauce:
Do not
use low-sodium beef broth, or the sauce will taste flat.
Seasonings:
Simple but delicious salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. Feel free to add other seasonings to taste.
Variations
Stir in a teaspoon or so of Dijon mustard.
Add a sprig or two of fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme leaves.
To make the sauce extra creamy, add a can of condensed mushroom soup or up to 4 ounces of cream cheese.
Serving Suggestions
Any starchy, carby pasta, potato or rice is great with stroganoff.
Serve this with a side of
egg noodles
,
mashed potatoes
, or
riced cauliflower
. Â
Simmer uncovered to thicken the sauce.
Don’t boil the sour cream or it may curdle, add it just before serving. Greek yogurt is a good substitute.
To thicken the sauce further, you can add a little bit of extra cornstarch slurry to reach the desired consistency. Mix equal parts cornstarch and cold water, and add a little bit at a time while stirring the sauce.
Additional herbs can be added to taste.
Leftovers and Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze:
Freeze the stroganoff without noodles.
Reheat:
If frozen, thaw leftovers in the fridge overnight. Heat in the microwave or on the stovetop on low heat until warm.

Do not use low sodium beef broth

condensed broth,
it has more flavor and the beef bouillon cube is not needed.
Ground beef gives the best flavor. If you substitute another type of ground meat, such as ground turkey, add a

Fresh mushrooms are best but canned will work too. Use any combination of white, cremini, or portobello.
Do not simmer or boil the sour cream or it may curdle. Greek yogurt can be used in place.

This is a great recipe. Only change I make is swapping sour cream with plant based sour cream, as I’m lactose intolerant. Otherwise follow to a “T”\!

Easy but bland even with adding Dijon and thyme. My family was grabbing spices off the rack to liven it up while we were eating it.

Made it today for dinner. Wow, fast and easy and tasted great. Husband went back for seconds. I tasted the gravy, it is really good and could be used without the sour cream as well for a change of pace.

Ny family really enjoyed this recipe. Got a pasta maker for my birthday. So this was the perfect recipe to go with my first go at homemade egg noodles. Both were a hit\!

Hi Karen, this recipe is for the ground beef mixture. You can serve it over egg noodles as we advise in step 5 of the recipe, but it is delicious over other starches too like mashed potatoes, rice, or another pasta type. I hope that helps\!

This is the first recipe that I made from you new cookbook. I loved it! My six year old daughter gave it two thumbs up. I also made the simple citrus breakfast cake from you new cookbook. It was super moist. My husband was a big fan of that recipe.

This had great flavor. I doubled it, but somehow managed to not get it thick enough. My family didn’t seem to mind though. This recipe is a keeper\!

| Readable Markdown | Ground beef stroganoff is a budget friendly, one-pan dinner made with simple ingredients. Lean ground beef, onion, and mushrooms are simmered in a rich creamy homemade sauce. Serve over egg noodles with a simple side salad for an easy 30 minute meal.

- **What it tastes like**: Beef and mushrooms add flavor while the sauce is creamy with a savory taste from the broth a little bit of tang from the sour cream.
- **Fresh ingredients:** Skip the condensed mushroom soup, the stroganoff sauce is made with broth and sour cream.
- **Test kitchen notes:** This ground beef stroganoff recipe has been made hundreds of times and is best made with lean ground beef. Condensed broth will add extra richness. If using low-sodium broth, add a beef bouillon cube.
- **Kitchen tip:** When browning ground beef, I like to let it brown for 3 to 4 minutes before breaking it up. This gets a nice brown crust on one side adding extra flavor.

## Ingredient Notes for Ground Beef Stroganoff
- **Ground Beef:** Use lean beef as it has a bit of fat for flavor.
- **Mushrooms**: I prefer brown or cremini mushrooms for a deeper mushroom flavor, but any type of mushrooms will work in this recipe.
- **Stroganoff Sauce:** **Do not** use low-sodium beef broth, or the sauce will taste flat.
- **Seasonings:** Simple but delicious salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. Feel free to add other seasonings to taste.
## Variations
- Stir in a teaspoon or so of Dijon mustard.
- Add a sprig or two of fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme leaves.
- To make the sauce extra creamy, add a can of condensed mushroom soup or up to 4 ounces of cream cheese.

## Serving Suggestions
Any starchy, carby pasta, potato or rice is great with stroganoff.
Serve this with a side of [egg noodles](https://www.spendwithpennies.com/egg-noodles/), [mashed potatoes](https://www.spendwithpennies.com/instant-pot-mashed-potatoes/), or [riced cauliflower](https://www.spendwithpennies.com/cauliflower-rice/).
- Simmer uncovered to thicken the sauce.
- Don’t boil the sour cream or it may curdle, add it just before serving. Greek yogurt is a good substitute.
- To thicken the sauce further, you can add a little bit of extra cornstarch slurry to reach the desired consistency. Mix equal parts cornstarch and cold water, and add a little bit at a time while stirring the sauce.
- Additional herbs can be added to taste.
## Leftovers and Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- **Freeze:** Freeze the stroganoff without noodles.
- **Reheat:** If frozen, thaw leftovers in the fridge overnight. Heat in the microwave or on the stovetop on low heat until warm.

Servings 4 servings
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
- â–˘
1 pound lean ground beef
- â–˘
1 small onion diced
- â–˘
1 clove garlic minced
- â–˘
12 ounces mushrooms sliced
- â–˘
3 tablespoons [all-purpose flour](https://amzlink.to/az0KleE9x5g2h)
- â–˘
2 cups beef broth see note, ***not low sodium***
- â–˘
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- â–˘
1 beef bouillon cube optional
- â–˘
salt and black pepper to taste
- â–˘
Âľ cup sour cream
- â–˘
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat, trying not to break the beef up too much, until no pink remains. Drain any fat.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute more.
- Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon cube, salt, & pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low boil and cook uncovered for 10 minutes until thickened.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package directions.
- Remove skillet from the heat and stir in sour cream and parsley. Serve over egg noodles.
- \****Do not use low sodium beef broth***. You can use boxed broth or condensed broth.
- If using canned **condensed broth,** it has more flavor and the beef bouillon cube is not needed.
- Ground beef gives the best flavor. If you substitute another type of ground meat, such as ground turkey, add a [beef bouillon cube](https://amzlink.to/az0xa7Umo6Kyy) for a richer flavor.
- Fresh mushrooms are best but canned will work too. Use any combination of white, cremini, or portobello.
- Do not simmer or boil the sour cream or it may curdle. Greek yogurt can be used in place.
**Variations**
- Stir in a teaspoon or so of Dijon mustard
- Add a sprig or two of fresh thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon of dried)
