Beef stroganoff served over egg noodles, on a plate

Why This Recipe Works

  • 30-minute meal — perfect for busy weeknights.
  • Ground beef — different from other stroganoff recipes but delicious, cheap, and easy.
  • Make ahead — make the sauce with the beef ahead of time and cook the noodles right before serving.

If you don't want to use cream of mushroom soup, use homemade cream of mushroom soup. Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream.

Ingredients

Based on the instructions:

  • Ground beef
  • Salt and pepper
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Cream of mushroom soup (homemade or canned)

Equipment

Instructions

  1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add onion and garlic and cook, breaking the meat up into small pieces, until it is nearly browned but still slightly pink. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are browned and slightly soft and the meat is cooked through.
  4. Add the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, allowing the mixture to bubble and simmer, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the sour cream, parsley, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve over cooked egg noodles or hot rice. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

Serving Suggestions

Make Ahead, Storage & Freezing

  • Make ahead: Make the sauce up until the last step of adding the sour cream. Store in the refrigerator for 1–3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat and stir in the sour cream.
  • Freezer: Make the sauce up until the last step of adding the sour cream. Cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe container for 2–3 months. Reheat on the stovetop and stir in sour cream once reheated.
