Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles cooked per package directions
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 12 ounce mushrooms baby bella sliced
  • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth low sodium divided
  • 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the wide egg noodles according to the package until just tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set meat aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, then add diced onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook until onions turn translucent and vegetables soften, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1 to 2 minutes to cook the flour without burning.
  6. Slowly pour in the beef broth while scraping the pan's bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits.
  7. Add the cream of mushroom soup and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens nicely.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Fold the browned ground beef and cooked noodles into the sauce until everything is evenly coated.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately, ideally with crusty bread to enjoy every bit of the creamy sauce.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey, chicken, or chuck beef if preferred. Plain Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a tangier twist. If you want to swap heavy cream, use cream of mushroom soup or a flour and water roux, adding beef bouillon for extra depth. Feel free to serve this stroganoff over your favorite pasta shapes or even mashed potatoes or rice. If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in additional broth to reach your desired consistency. Remember to remove from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Leftovers keep well in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
