Description
This Ground Beef Stroganoff is a creamy, budget-friendly comfort food classic that comes together in just 25 minutes. Perfect for busy nights or $10 dinners for the whole family.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (lean or regular)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (fresh or canned)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup sour cream
8 ounces egg noodles
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
3. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the beef. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
4. Stir in mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown.
5. Add butter to the skillet and stir until melted. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes.
6. Gradually pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
7. Lower the heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Do not boil after adding sour cream.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve over egg noodles and garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
To stretch this dish further, add 1 cup frozen peas or carrots when adding mushrooms.
For a lighter option, substitute ground turkey for ground beef.
Reheat leftovers gently with a splash of milk or broth to loosen the sauce.
