Well, great news, guys. Now you can make the most lovely, easy-peasy, no-fuss, super saucy, restaurant-quality stroganoff right at home.
why i love this recipe
- One pot miracle dinner. With crumbled ground beef and cremini mushrooms, this bad boy comes together in a single pot. It’s truly a one pot wonder where the uncooked egg noodles cook right in the sauce, sopping up everything. That means less time for dishes with only one pan to clean up.
- Quick, simple and budget-friendly. This is one of those affordable family-friendly meals without sacrificing flavor.
- Flexible recipe. Swap out the ground beef for ground chicken or turkey, and go ahead and sneak in those leafy greens for those picky eaters – they won’t even notice them!
tips and tricks for success
- Use your favorite meat. Ground beef, chicken or turkey will all work very well here.
- Choose a wine you will drink. A dry red wine (cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir or merlot) is great here – it does not have to be anything fancy or overpriced. Just something you don’t mind sipping on since you will have an open bottle.
- Use good-quality stock. The better quality your stock, the better your stroganoff. Many brands love to pack in the salt so always opt for unsalted or a lower-sodium variety.
- Add in leafy greens. This is a great recipe to sneak in leafy greens for those picky eaters. Spinach, kale, collard greens, swiss chard, or arugula are all great options.
- Make it lighter. Swap out the sour cream for Greek yogurt for added creaminess (with less fat) and protein.

Give it five for flavor but 3 for the fact it came out like soup. I followed recipe exactly. Even tried to thicken it with Wondra still soupy. Not sure what happened may cut water to 3 cups or up the flour.
Super easy! I used dried, minced in onion as the onion I had was past its prime – still turned out great. Thanks!
Made this AGAIN on Friday night! Such a flavorful, easy meal that gets devoured by everyone. I’ve shared it with many friends and family members. Thanks for such a great recipe!
Delicious! I made it with better than bouillon chicken, ground turkey, and whole milk yogurt bc I didn’t have sour cream. It came out great! Thanks!
I’ve made this probably two dozen times and it’s one of my family’s favorite meals, especially for when the weather gets chilly. I’ve made it with wine and without wine, with sour cream and with central american crema or a bit of heavy cream, just depending on what I have on hand. This recipe ends up being a winner any way I’ve made it.
Yes, I think I will try it.
So good and easy!
I’ve been looking for an easy One Pot Beef Stroganoff that was easy to prep. This is a Keeper for sure in my flies
This one pot beef stroganoff was fabulous- so easy to make with items in your cupboard (except maybe the mushrooms) and equally as amazing. I love your recipes cause they are foolproof and always delicious!
Yummy! My family is always happy when I make this 🙂
This is an excellent recipe. I’ve been making it for my family for years now and it is one of their favorites. So much flavor and simple ingredients make for a quick, comforting dinner that satisfies everyone, everytime!
This is a keeper! Easy to make and great flavor. I left out the wine and used whole grain pasta and was still great. It was pretty saucy after the 10 minutes, so I took the lid off and cooked down a bit. Will definitely make again!
This is my favorite Beef Stroganoff recipe! With a baby and low energy in the evenings, is there a way I can convert this into a slow cooker recipe I can make earlier in the day?
I use this recipe everytime I make beef stroganoff
Are you able to add nutrition notes for your recipes? Calories per serving, fat, protein, sodium etc…. thnx
The flavor of this was fantastic. Much better than the stroganoff “packet” seasoning I used to use, and every bit as easy. I didn’t want to open a bottle of wine, so left it out and it was fine. The only thing I’ll do differently next time is shorten the cooking time with the pasta. The noodles came out quite a bit softer than I like, but probably just the brand of noodles (and I should have tested them along the way). For those of you that asked about leaving out the mushrooms, I put them in a dish after cooking and only added them to my plate. My kids hate mushrooms (which makes me question whether they are really my children). ;). Otherwise, the whole family loved it and this will become part of our regular rotation!
Wasn’t sure – stroganoff with ground beef? But it was good. I would make it again and use way more mushrooms and use a few sprigs of fresh thyme. Didn’t like the taste of the dried.
Tried this tonight for the first time, and the recipe did not disappoint. We made the recipe exactly as directed and found it very tasteful. We will definitely make again!
Delicious! Nothing more to say that can make it better! I made it with ground venison. So good!
Absolutely Delicious!!! I will probably make this recipe once a week for the rest of my life or until I can’t cook anymore.
