Description
This Ground Beef Stroganoff is the ultimate comfort food—rich, creamy, and made in just one skillet. Perfect for busy weeknights, it combines seasoned ground beef with mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a tangy sour cream sauce over tender egg noodles.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup sour cream
8 ounces egg noodles
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until soft. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms release moisture and brown—about 5–7 minutes.
3. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir to coat, and cook for 1 minute.
4. Slowly add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer, letting the sauce thicken for 5–7 minutes.
5. Return cooked beef to the skillet and stir. Lower heat and mix in sour cream. Simmer for 2–3 minutes without boiling.
6. Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and fold them into the sauce until fully coated.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, topped with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra depth, sauté the mushrooms until golden brown before adding flour.
Always use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt to avoid curdling in the sauce.
Stir noodles in gently to keep them from breaking apart and to help coat them evenly.
