Description
One-Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff is a quick and easy comfort food recipe perfect for busy weeknights. Made with lean ground beef, wide egg noodles, mushrooms, and a creamy sour cream sauce, everything cooks together in a single pan for minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef (90% lean ground sirloin recommended)
- 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
- ½ onion, diced
- 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ lb wide egg noodles (uncooked)
- 3 to 3½ cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ounce cream cheese
- ⅓ cup sour cream (more as desired)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, plus more for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt completely. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the lean ground beef to the pan, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spatula. Stir occasionally to combine the meat with the onions and garlic, cooking until the beef is mostly browned but still slightly pink in the center.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and any additional spices such as paprika or dried thyme if desired. Continue sautéing until the mushrooms soften and the beef is fully cooked through. Drain excess grease from the pan if necessary.
- Pour in the beef broth and stir in the Dijon mustard. Reduce the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add the uncooked wide egg noodles to the pan, pressing them down into the broth. It’s fine if the pasta is not completely submerged. Let the noodles simmer for 7 to 9 minutes, or until they are just shy of al dente.
- Lower heat to low and stir in the cream cheese, fresh thyme, parsley, and sour cream. Mix gently until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- This dish is best served immediately.
