Easy Beef Stroganoff
Description
This recipe features lean ground beef cooked until browned and drained, then combined with chopped onions and minced garlic. The mixture is seasoned with salt, black pepper, and a brown gravy mix combined with water, sour cream, and cream of mushroom soup to create a rich, savory sauce. Dried parsley adds a subtle herb note.
The sauce simmers gently to blend flavors, and the cooked extra wide egg noodles are stirred in at the end to absorb the creamy sauce, resulting in tender noodles coated evenly in the beef stroganoff sauce. This dish offers a classic comfort food experience with a creamy texture and balanced beef and mushroom flavors.
Serve this beef stroganoff as a main course for a filling lunch or dinner. It reheats well and can be frozen for up to two months, making it practical for batch cooking or leftovers. Reheat gently to preserve the sauce's texture and freshness.
To freeze, cool the cooked dish before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. When reheating, thaw in the refrigerator up to 24 hours and warm in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to reheat evenly.
