How to Make Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff

Did I mention that this is a one pan meal? Everything gets made in one pan, and one pan only. Which means less cleanup and a happier kitchen!

Here’s how the easy beef stroganoff with ground beef  is made: 

  1. In a large skillet, brown and crumble the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat.
  2. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms start to soften.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Whisk in flour until no lumps remain.
  4. Add broth mixture to beef mixture and stir. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until slightly thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
  6. Serve over hot egg noodles and garnish with parsley, if desired.

Can This Recipe Be Made in Advance? 

Yes! You can make the beef stroganoff with ground beef up to five days in advance and gently reheat it on the stove when you’re ready to serve. I don’t recommend cooking the egg noodles in advance, as they tend to dry out in the fridge.

Tips for Making Beef Stroganoff with Ground Beef

  • I used a pound of mini baby bella mushrooms, but if you’re not too crazy about them, feel free to only use 8 ounces of mushrooms.
  • I also opted for ground beed instead of beef chunks, just for ease of making the recipe. However, you’re welcome to substitute beef stew meat or something similar, noting that the cook time will be much longer. 
  • You may be able to substitute the sour cream with full-fat plain Greek yogurt. However, I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t say for sure.
