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.

Haaa!
All your recipes are sooooo good and basically simple. This one pot stroganoff was so easy and absolutely delicious!
Even with this heat, I was so hungry for beef stroganoff. I rarely make it so I don’t have a good recipe. Just made this last night. Wow! Absolutely hit the spot. So good, I went back for seconds. Even better, it was so blessedly easy.
I’m about to make, will comment when complete and we’ve eaten!!
Simple enough, and tasty enough! I’ve made this recipe several times. I always add more garlic, everything is really to you and your family’s taste. I also use white cooking wine instead of “dry” wine. Turns out fine. Be careful of your cook times I’ve discovered some egg noodles cook a little faster, so just peek in the pot after about 5 minutes. I never have “fresh parsley” in my house so we use the dried. If you decide to use the dried parsley sprinkle it on a few minutes before the pasta is done.
I’ve already left a comment probably 4 years ago or more but I’m updating to say this is STILL THE BEST stroag recipe ever. I have to stop myself from eating the whole dam pan.
Only change I make is adding a bit of green pepper.
This is serious cravable comfort food. And easy to make and clean up
Delicious mid week meal for the family. Easy to prepare and make. Followed the recipe closely so it turned out beautifully.
Many thanks for this one pot version of a favourite. Will be a regular.
Family favorite! My husband says it’s delicious every time. My only change is Yellow vs Dijon mustard becuase I don’t like Dijon.
YUM! This dish is a winner…so good and easy! And even better, it’s one pot!
We made this last night for dinnerand it was delicious and easy to make! We veganized it and it was scrumptious! Thanks fo such a great recipe.
Love it!!
I’m a great cook but needed a quick recipe and OH MY LORG my guys were over the moon! Fighting over leftovers! Don’t know if I should be happy to add this into rotation or be miffed I didn’t think of it! Lol SO GOOD.
Followed recipe to a T and it is SO delicious! Very flavorful! Thanks!
This is one of my favorite recipes for a quick and delicious meal. Everyone loves it. I recently used some sliced boneless chicken thighs and it turned out great. I’ve also used leftover flank steak, ground turkey and venison.
I typically use portabella mushrooms since they’re often on sale. I tend to double up on the worcestershire sauce and Dijon, but that’s my personal preference.
Great to make a big batch and have leftovers later. A definite keeper!
Love this stroganoff, it’s become one of my go to recipes on busy weeknights when I haven’t made a plan… but it’s yummy enough that it’s great when it’s planned as well! Thank you for another great recipe.
This is so yummy! Tangy and full of flavour. There was quite a bit of moisture in my beef and I cooked it until it was gone. I could see that it might make it runny if I wasn’t paying attention to it before I added the wine and beef stock. The thick sliced mushrooms are important- by the time the dish is done they are cooked down and perfect texture and size.
I love the Damn Delicious recipes: always yummy, simple and they are gorgeous to serve! Thank you Chungah for all your hard work!!
The sauce is addictive! I didn’t feel like cooking dinner but pulled myself off the couch to make this. It is definitely an easy weeknight option. My boyfriend is a Chec and he ate 3 helpings. He loved it and so did I.
Notes:
I used chicken breasts because it’s what I had and I did have to add a flour+water paste at end to thicken the sauce up a bit. Doubled the sour cream and used fresh thyme as a personal preference. Very yummy and easy—I will definitely add this to the rotation.
Delicious as always!!
A twist this time, and it was taken up a notch:
Substituted Italian sausage (beef), chicken broth (wine) and plain Greek yogurt (sour cream).
This is fire and so simple!!
This was SO GOOD. I cooked with what I had (and don’t eat red meat) so I used 12 oz impossible meat, 8 oz mushrooms, 12 oz egg noodles, and I subbed whole fat Greek yogurt and added a good shake or two of half sharp Hungarian paprika. Wow. I’m going to be making this all the time, it takes like my childhood!
Stumbled on this one couple years ago now. Love the whole one pot meal thing, makes clean up so much easier. This is and has been in our rotation since we found it. It’s easy prep and clean up, it’s delicious, it’s everything you want in a meal. Thank you for sharing.
