Ground Beef Stroganoff Family Dinner

This creamy, comforting stroganoff is a budget-friendly twist on the classic recipe that swaps pricey beef cuts for affordable ground beef. Your family will love the rich, savory sauce served over egg noodles, and you'll love that it costs less than takeout! It's become a regular in my dinner rotation because it's fancy enough to feel special but easy enough for a Tuesday night.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add diced onion and mushrooms to the beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Slowly pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

  7. Serve the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
