Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound ground beef I use 90% lean
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt divided use
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 3/4 cup sour cream full fat
  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the egg noodles in salted water according to package directions.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium high heat.
  3. Place the beef in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a spoon or spatula. Season with 1 teaspon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
  4. After the meat is cooked through, remove it from the pan and place on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  5. If there is excess grease in the pan from the beef, drain it off.
  6. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan. Add the onions and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender and browned. Season the vegetables with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  8. Add the flour to the pan, and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, while continuing to stir.
  9. Add the beef broth, paprika, Italian seasoning and Worcestershire sauce to the pan, stirring well. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
  10. Stir in the sour cream. Add the ground beef back to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the meat is heated through.
  11. Top the stroganoff with parsley, then serve with the egg noodles.

Notes

  • I typically use 90% lean ground beef. It's flavorful but doesn't produce a lot of excess grease. If you're using meat with a higher fat content, you'll want to drain the grease from the pan after the meat is cooked.
  • This sauce works best with full fat sour cream. Low fat dairy products can sometimes separate when exposed to heat. No sour cream on hand? Try a little heavy cream instead.
  • Ground beef stroganoff will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3 days. I don't recommend freezing it as the sauce may separate when thawed.
