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.

My wife’s feeling blue and over the cold weather? I whip this up and everything’s cozy happy
This is absolutely delicious. Made it as written and I wouldn’t change a thing. It seemed quite liquidy as it cooked, but thickened up beautifully in the end. Served with extra sour cream for those who wanted it.
This recipe is always a regular dish in our house. A great variation is to use the Trader Joe’s balsamic rosemary steak tips instead of ground beef. Adds great flavor!
I’ve been making this for two years and it’s very, very good. I cook the pasta separately, making it a two pot meal, and find I can use less beef broth and get it cooked down and on the table quicker that way. I’m back today to reprint the recipe so I can update and freshen my handwritten notes on the recipe. This one’s a keeper.
My family with 4 very active teens asks for this recipe every single week! It is a recipe now in our family favorites recipe book. Thank you for such a great recipe!
This has become a staple whip-it-up-quick meal in our household! I’ve made it using ground meat, steak tips and actual steak strips but I always revert back to basics, though I temper the sour cream before adding it in so it doesn’t break the sauce that’s forming ♡
Love that this is all made in one pan! So easy! The only change I made was to use stone ground mustard as we do not like Dijon. we will be making this again. Good comfort food. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been making this recipe for years and it always turns out great! Easy, tasty and minimal dishes. Easy recommend.
Absolutely the best stroganoff recipe I’ve ever eaten! Followed the recipe to the letter, and would not change a thing. So flavorful!
When the weather gets cooler always think of this comfort food. And yours is the best one pot dish by far! I don’t always have the spices on hand but can easily improvise thanks D.D.
Easy to make and really good! Thank you for this recipe. It is now has a place in our favorites file:)
What a great recipe! I’ve made it 3 times now. Once for myself and twice for guests. Once I used Quinoa and Rice Fusilli and used Almond Flour for thickening to keep it gluten free. Used greek yogurt instead of sour cream. My guests loved it on both occasions and asked for leftovers the next day. I also made it with chicken and chicken broth. This recipe is a keeper!
My family doesn’t like mushrooms – should I sub something else or just leave out?
I buy them whole and cut them up in large pieces. I pick them out and eat them all!
Excellent dish! Did not change or alter anything. Thank you for sharing.
Super easy and delicious!
This was so good! Easy to fix at last minute. Its a keeper.
Thank you, Chungah…that was indeed , damned delicious.
I defrosted my garage freezer and thought I should use the ground beef there…not THAT old, but use it!!! This was so easy to cook and absolutely delicious.
I’ve printed the recipe…it is a keeper and I shall share it.
Love your recipes. Well done….thanks for sharing
Is there a way that this meal can be frozen? I am always combing your site for freezer recipes, as I make meals to take to my mom’s house (to ease her load with meal prep).
couldn’t find cremini so had to use white button mushrooms, and had to add probably another 1/2 cup of sour cream before I could taste it. SC taste should be subtle, but should be able to notice it. otherwise, great recipe.
It should freeze same as lasagna……cook noodles only until eldente so not mushy when reheated
I’ve made this recipe several times. Easy & love that it’s all done in 1 pot. I now add a few handfuls of kale after adding the broth and noodles and liked it even more. Delicious!
Excellent recipe! Will be making this again and adding the dinner rotation.
