Simple Ground Beef Stroganoff

January 6, 2025

This Simple Ground Beef Stroganoff is a quick and easy dinner option, combining tender ground beef with a creamy mushroom sauce served over egg noodles.

Ground beef stroganoff is a simplified version of the classic beef stroganoff, offering all the rich, creamy flavors of the original dish in a fraction of the time. It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want something comforting, flavorful, and easy to prepare.

The dish starts with ground beef, which is browned and crumbled in a skillet. The beef is seasoned with simple ingredients like salt, pepper, and garlic powder, allowing the natural flavors to shine through. Once the beef is cooked, it’s time to build the sauce. The base is a combination of beef broth and sour cream, creating a rich, creamy texture that coats the beef and makes every bite indulgent. A splash of Worcestershire sauce adds depth and a hint of tang, while sautéed onions and mushrooms contribute savory richness and umami flavor.

To thicken the sauce and achieve the perfect creamy consistency, a small amount of flour or cornstarch is often added. This gives the dish that velvety, smooth texture that pairs perfectly with the beef. The sauce simmers gently, allowing the flavors to meld together and ensuring that the ground beef is fully coated in the creamy goodness.

Simple ground beef stroganoff is typically served over egg noodles, but it’s also great with rice, mashed potatoes, or even a side of steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It’s a quick and easy meal that can be made in less than 30 minutes, making it ideal for hectic evenings when you want to enjoy a hearty, homemade dish without the fuss.

This version of beef stroganoff keeps the comforting essence of the classic dish but is made with accessible ingredients and a streamlined approach. Whether you’re feeding your family, cooking for a crowd, or craving a cozy meal for yourself, simple ground beef stroganoff is a delicious and satisfying choice that brings comfort to the table with minimal effort.

    This was so good! I can’t believe how easy it was to make. My whole family loved it!

    I don’t know, it just didn’t taste as good as I thought it would. Maybe I did it wrong?

      I think maybe you overcooked it? The beef can get tough if you leave it too long. Also, did you use fresh mushrooms? That makes a difference!

    2. User avatar lisandra.lang22 says:

      Not sure what you did wrong, but I thought it was delish! Maybe try adding more garlic next time? Garlic always helps!

    Simple and cheap meal! I made it with ground turkey instead of beef and it was still yummy. Thx for the recipe!

    I’m not sure if I did it right, but the sauce was runny. Still tasted good.

    Not a fan. It was a bit bland. Maybe I’ll try adding some spices next time.

      Bland? Really? I thought it was yum! Maybe you just don’t have the right taste buds? 🤔

    2. User avatar lyndsay.stoltenberg1 says:

      I totally get that! A little dash of paprika or cumin might do wonders. It’s all about finding the right balance. 😊

      Extra garlic sounds great! I love garlic in everything. I’ll try that next time!

    2. 3 stars
      Yeah but isn’t it kinda overpowering? I don’t know, I like it mild.

  8. 2 stars
    This ain’t stroganoff! Where’s the mushrooms? 🙄

    1. 4 stars
      Actually, it has mushrooms! They’re in the ingredients list. Maybe you missed it? 😅

      What do you mean? This is the right recipe. I think it’s good without a ton of mushrooms! 😋

    Meh. Thought it’d be better. It kinda tasted like… nothing.

      Hmm, I found it a bit bland. Maybe it needs more seasoning or something? Not sure I’d give it 5 stars…

      I’m glad you liked it! I made it last week and my kids cleaned their plates. Super easy too!

    I tried this but the sauce was too thin. I think it needs more flour. Maybe I did it wrong?

    1. User avatar joan.weissnat10 says:

      4 stars
      I think you might have needed to add the flour earlier in the process! It helps with thickening. Don’t worry, it happens to everyone. Just adjust next time!

    Yummm! Comfort food at its best. Will make again for sure! 🍝

    Beef broth ain’t for everyone. I used chicken 🐔, came out nice.

    I found it a bit too salty. Maybe reduce the salt? 🤔

    1. 4 stars
      I totally agree! I found it salty too. Maybe next time I’ll skip the added salt altogether! 🤷‍♀️

    2. User avatar smartestRedditor says:

      2 stars
      Nah, I think the salt is just fine. But I guess everyone has their own taste! 🤔

  27. 1 star
    Too easy, there’s no way it tastes good. My mom’s recipe is way better!
