This easy, creamy ground beef stroganoff is a comforting dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes with pantry staples. Tender noodles, savory beef, and a rich, tangy sauce make it a crowd-pleaser for busy weeknights or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 preferred, but lean works)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 3/4 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 12 ounces egg noodles (or gluten-free pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for serving)

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions (usually 7-8 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside. Toss with a little butter to prevent sticking if desired.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving a little for flavor.
  3. Add diced onion to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until mushrooms are browned and onions are translucent.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the beef and veggies, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to make a roux.
  5. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring to dissolve the flour. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Let the pan cool slightly before adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Add cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, hot and creamy.

Notes

For a lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken and low-fat sour cream. For gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta and swap flour for cornstarch. Add sour cream off heat to prevent curdling. Store sauce and noodles separately for best leftovers. Add a splash of heavy cream for extra richness if desired.
