Simple Ground Beef Stroganoff

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.
