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 family LOVED this dish, little kids included. I loved how easy it was to make! This is definitely a recipe we are putting in our “favorite recipes” binder.
Really tasty and easy! I added broccoli, and would add a little more next time—the sauce is almost too tasty… I might cut back a smidge in the mustard.
I made this right from the recipe with no alternates or substitutions. I would say this is a mediocre stroganoff but it was way too runny; we ate it in soup bowls. If I were to make it again I would use maybe 3 cups of stock and a little more flour. The one pot thing was very appealing but I’m not ready to sacrifice quality for convenience. The high marks in reviews gave me hopes of a real find but sadly, it didn’t happen for us.
This recipe is amazing! And it’s not runny if you do it right.
Delicious. I have Celiac, so I substituted gluten free flour for the wheat flour and used a gluten free rice noodle instead of the egg noodles. Paired with a simple salad, it was a simple tasty comfort food dinner.
Great meal. I just tweaked it a little. I used a whole bag of noodles and 1/2 cup of wine . Quick easy and very tasty. My cooking group made it and they lived it.
Fantastic! Super tasty. There’s a mushroom allergy in the household, so I replaced it with Cipollini onions. Used mini penne, because the market was out of egg noodles. Penne needed more liquid, added a cup of water. Kept the rest of the recipients the same.
Absolutely delicious and easy to make! My boyfriend went back for seconds. I used regular button mushrooms, 4 cloves of garlic and extra wide egg noodles. Next time I’ll use slightly less noodles for a thicker sauce. For beef broth I used Better Than Bullion roasted beef.. next time I’ll use 3 teaspoons to 4 cups water and not add any extra salt to the receipe. The recipe is a keeper!!
Turned out great! My husband isn’t a big fan of sour cream so he asked me to go light on it. Turns out the recipe is delicious even before you add the sour cream so I just served it on the side and we added it to taste. I also only had 2 cups of beef broth left so had to use beef bouillon to make the second half of the broth. I used a 12 oz pack of noodles so I ended up having to add another cup or so of water in order for the noodles to be submerged and cook well. Didn’t have parsley but was great without it.
Wonderful! Truly the best recipe out there.
We have someone who doesn’t eat beef. Can I use ground turkey / chicken stock instead of beef?
Excellent! So easy and so flavorful! I substituted venison for the beef because that’s what I had on hand. This will be a regular at our house!
Very delicious and so easy to make. clean up was a breeze. This will definitely be my go to meal.
This was a BIG hit with the guys tonight! We’re living with my elderly Dad to take care of him and keep him eating, and he ate a huge bowl tonight! I need to adjust the amount of broth or add more noodles – it was “eat it with a spoon” consistency. 8oz of egg noodles didn’t sop up near enough of the broth and I cooked it quite a while hoping it would reduce a bit. However – this is definitely going to be made again. 🙂
Wow! Super delicious! Thank you so much!
This was a huge hit with my family of picky eaters who do not like mushrooms! I’m pretty amazed. Thank you so much for a great one pot recipe that was a snap to clean up! I made an adjustment on the noodles due to an egg allergy in our family. Instead of egg noodles, fettuccine broken into thirds was used and it cooked up perfectly! Maybe it took a little longer than the egg noodles would have taken to absorb the broth. I used Pinot Grigio for the wine, and honey dijon was what I had in the fridge, which was perfect. We all love every recipe I try from your website! Tortellini Soup, and Zuppa Toscana Soup are two of our favorites. Now I can add One Pot Beef Stroganoff to the line up. Thanks again!
Great and easy to follow recipe! It was slightly bitter for me. Do you think using only 1 tbsp of Worcestershire and/or heavy cream instead of sour cream would help?
Delicious and really fast. My family was completely wow-Ed.
This was awesome! One pot is so easy especially when the noodles are cooked in the pot as well. Very flavorful – thank you!!!
The whole family loved it – which is a rare feat! Will definitely add to the regular rotation.
Loved how flavorful this ONE dish stroganoff is! I’ve never cooked the noodles in the broth and it worked perfectly and saved on clean up! I didn’t have any white wine, so substituted apple cider vinegar and it worked well. This recipe is a keeper
Was as easier and tastier than I anticipated. Kids gobbled it up and adults loved it too. Will make again for sure.
