Nothing says a good old home cooked meal to me like Ground Beef Stroganoff. This recipe will have you “mmm-ing” at every bite!
Some may say using ground beef is simple, but what is wrong with simplicity? Ground beef is cheaper than sirloin, its foolproof, and just tastes darn tasty! Especially in this creamy & savory ground beef stroganoff served over egg noodles. Sometimes all you need is an easy (and flavor packed) home cooked meal to wind down at the end of the day.
Ingredients List
Ground Beef Stroganoff is made with a handful of ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. You will need: one pound of ground beef, one large yellow onion (white works – but yellow gives more flavor, in my non-expert opinion), four cloves of garlic, two cups of beef broth (do yourself a favor and use Better Than Bouillon Roasted Beef Base.. I promise you will never use another beef broth after using this), two tablespoons of Worchester sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, one can of Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup, two cups of sour cream, and one tablespoon of corn starch.
Here’s how you make it!
The first step to creating your Ground Beef Stroganoff is prepping your ingredients. Chop one whole yellow onion and mince four cloves of garlic. If you’re using Better Than Bouillon Roasted Beef Base, have that prepared. It will make things easier when it’s time to add this in. melting one tablespoon of butter in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. In a large skillet, sauté your chopped onions and minced garlic in one tablespoon of melted butter. When the onions are translucent, remove onions and garlic from the pan and set them aside on a plate. We’ll add these back in shortly.
Add one pound of ground beef to the same pan you used to cook the onions and garlic. Season with a large pinch of salt and pepper. Break it up into small bits and cook until mostly browned. It’s okay not to fully cook in this step because it will more than cook through by the time the dish is finished. Drain as much grease from the pan as you can. Now add back the onions and garlic to the ground beef. Pour in two cups of the beef broth, two tablespoons of Worchester sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Stir well to combine ingredients, turn up the heat and let it come to a light boil. Once it’s boiling, turn the heat down to low, cover, and let simmer for ten minutes. You’re so close to eating your Ground Beef Stroganoff!
While this is simmering, you should go ahead and cook your egg noodles.
Now that ten painful minutes of waiting have passed, it’s time to finish this dish off! Add in one can of Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup and two cups of sour cream. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth consistency. Lastly, add a cornstarch slurry mixture containing one tablespoon of cornstarch and one tablespoon of cold water. Keep the heat on low and stir for about five minutes until the ground beef stroganoff has thickened.
And that’s it! Serve this creamy and delicious dinner over egg noodles. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for reading my Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe. For more easy and delicious recipes please visit our homepage and recipe index. Thank you! 🙂
