Beef stroganoff—the ultimate comfort food that’s made with simple ingredients. This one-pot recipe is made with ground beef and homemade mushroom soup. The noodles cook in the sauce and everything comes out super creamy and decadent because of it—plus it takes less than twenty minutes to make!

A Classic Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Most beef stroganoff recipes use a can of mushroom soup as the base for the sauce. However, with this recipe, you’ll create a homemade version that has so much more flavor than a can. Plus the noodles cook right in the sauce adding even more flavor to this dish.

Hearty, filling, and creamy, beef stroganoff might just be the ultimate comfort food thanks to the yummy chunks of ground beef, earthy mushrooms, and creamy sauce. It’s perfect for cold nights or busy weeknights when you just need to get something delicious on the table.Looks a little like a Johnny Marzetti but the flavors are completely different.

While this is absolutely perfect on its own, that creamy mushroom sauce is just as delicious on top of egg noodles as it is over rice, baked mashed potatoes or scooped up by a fluffy dinner roll.

I use ground beef for this recipe for ease and affordability, but you can use other cuts of beef depending on your preference, you’ll just need to alter the cooking time of the beef.

When it comes to the mushrooms, you have so many options! You can use cremini mushrooms, white button mushrooms, or portabella mushrooms. You could even use a mixture of multiple kinds for extra flavor and texture.

Where Does Beef Stroganoff Come From?

Did you know that the beef stroganoff recipe dates all the way back to the 19th century? Some say it is a French-inspired dish made for the Stroganovs, a noble Russian family, while others say it is the evolution of classic Russian recipes. It has become a staple dish around the world even in the South.

Why This Is The Best Creamy Beef Stroganoff Recipe

• Great Flavor – Already super savory from the beef and mushrooms with a hint of tang from the added dollop of sour cream is what gives stroganoff its distinct flavor.
• One-Pot Recipe – Since you cook the noodles right in the sauce, there’s no need to break out any other pots and pans!
• Comfort In a Bowl – The beef stroganoff sauce is thick and creamy and coats the noodles perfectly. Every bite is warm and filling, just what you want from dinner.

Ingredients For A One Pot Dinner

Egg Noodles – These noodles are denser and have a richer flavor than regular pasta so they hold up well to the creamy sauce.

Worcestershire Sauce – Just a dash is all you need to add tons of umami to the final dish.

Sour Cream – You can’t have stroganoff without it! But in a pinch you can use plain greek yogurt.

White Wine – Buttery white wine helps build the sauce.

Chicken Broth – Adds body and flavor to the sauce. You could also use beef broth if you want an even richer flavor.

Ground Beef – If you don’t want to drain any grease, then use a leaner ground beef. For more flavor go with 85% but you will need to drain it once it has cooked through.

Pantry Staples– onion, garlic and flour.

Simple Steps to make Beef Stroganoff

Step One: Cook Mushrooms

A Dutch oven works best for this dish but you cold also use a large skillet. Heat oil over medium-high heat and sauté mushrooms with a little salt, until golden brown. Set aside.

Step Two: Cook Ground Beef

Using the same pan, sauté onions and garlic with salt and pepper, until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.

Step Three: Make Sauce

Add flour to the beef mixture and cook for a minute or so to get rid of any raw flour taste, then add chicken broth, white wine, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes then add noodles and cook for about 10 minutes until they have softened. (The sauce will be watery when you add the noodles, but it’ll thicken as the starch from the noodles releases.)

Step Four: Assemble

Remove from heat and add sour cream and cooked mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color. You can also add a spoonful of extra sour cream to each serving.

A Few Recipe Notes

• Deglaze the pan after cooking the mushrooms and beef with a little bit of white wine. Scraping up all the brown bits will add so much flavor to your sauce!
• Let your ingredients all come to room temperature before cooking so that everything cooks at the same rate.
• Use full fat ingredients when possible for the most rich flavor.

How To Store Leftovers

In The Fridge: Let the stroganoff cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to three days.

In The Freezer: Pour stroganoff into individual containers for easy portions and store in the freezer for up to two months.
