Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Y'all let's keep it 100 up in here.  We ALL need that crazy easy recipe that you can whip together in no time.  For me that recipe is this Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff.  

I came across this recipe YEARS ago when I first got married in an old Campbell's cookbook.  I have tweaked it a little over the years to fit our lifestyle, but one thing is for sure...it's yummy.  I know you are going to love it so...

Let's Get Started!

For this Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff Recipe you will need a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion, diced

1 1/2 c. milk

1 c. sour cream

1 tbsp. garlic, minced

4 tbsp. butter or oil

2 tbsp. flour

2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 bag of egg noodles

Before you begin working on your stroganoff, you will want to get a pot of water on to boil.

Make sure you add the salt to your water.  It is the only chance you have to add flavor to the pasta.

**One thing that I am OBSESSED with right now is making my noodles in my INSTANT POT!  5 minutes, NO DRAIN, it's life changing!  Here is how I do it.**

1. Add the noodles, salt, and 4 cups of water to the instant pot. 
2. Place the lid on the instant pot and make sure the valve is set to SEALING.  
3. Turn it to MANUAL and set the timer for 5 minutes.
4. Once the cooking time has elapsed do a quick release by turning the valve to VENTING. 
5. When all the pressure has been released remove the lid, give it a stir, and you are ready to go!  

I'm telling you.  It will change your life.  

Now we can move on to the stroganoff sauce.  

Place your skillet over medium/high heat and add 2 Tbsp of butter and 2 Tbsp oil.  

Next, add the diced onions and cook until soft and translucent.

Once the onions are translucent, add the garlic.

Cook the garlic until you can smell it coming from the pan.

Once you can smell the garlic coming from the pan add the ground beef.  

Cook until brown and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. 

Once the meat is fully cooked, you will add the flour. 

Stir the flour into the meat and let it cook for about 2 minutes.

This will remove any raw flour taste that may want to permeate into your meat.

After the flour taste has cooked out, add the milk.

**Don't want to mess with the flour and milk?  No worries, I got you.  Simply replace those steps with a can of cream of mushroom soup.**

Whisk until smooth, and let the stroganoff sauce simmer until it thickens.  

While your stroganoff is simmering, the water should be boiling.

You will add the noodles to the pot and cook according to the directions on the package.

After the stroganoff has thickened, you will add the sour cream.

Whisk it into the stroganoff until smooth.

Now you will add the Worcestershire sauce.

Whisk it in and taste for seasoning.

Add any salt and pepper it may need.

Add a little parsley and there you have it!  A beautiful, easy, and made from scratch,  Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe!  

Serve over the egg noodles and plate it up with your favorite vegetable.  DELICIOUS!  I didn't have any on hand, but something I love to add to this is some sliced mushrooms.  They just add a lot of great flavor and texture.  This is a quick, easy, flavorful, and inexpensive meal you can be proud to serve your family on any weeknight!

Vegetarian?  I have a friend who uses Morning Star crumbles, almond milk, and a vegan sour "cream" to make this and says it is wonderful! 

I hope you enjoy this recipe and it becomes a family favorite of yours as well!

And as always...

Happy Reading, Happy Eating, and Happy Living,
