Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Vegetables

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced (baby bella or white button)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Sauce

  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

Pasta

  • 10 oz egg noodles, uncooked

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are browned and cooked down. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and keep them warm.
  2. Cook Ground Beef and Onions: Add the ground beef and finely diced onions to the same pan. Break up the ground beef with a spoon and cook for 4-5 minutes until it is fully cooked and no longer pink. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Worcestershire Sauce: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce until evenly mixed with the beef and onions.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir continuously until the flour is fully absorbed and no white flour remains visible. This will help thicken the sauce.
  5. Simmer with Broth and Noodles: Pour in the beef broth and add the uncooked egg noodles. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
  6. Finish the Stroganoff: Remove the skillet from heat. Gently stir in the cooked mushrooms and the sour cream until well combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • Use baby bella mushrooms for a richer flavor, or white button mushrooms for a milder taste.
  • Make sure to break up the ground beef well for even cooking and texture.
  • Stir in the sour cream off heat to avoid curdling.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • For a thicker sauce, add a little more flour or reduce the broth slightly.
