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.

Excellent!!!! Had some leftover shredded beef that fit in perfectly with the recipe. Also perfect for a one pot meal which was enough to feed us all on a chilly Halloween night. Super delicious, definitely keeping this. Thank you!
This made a lot more food than I thought, given that is 1/2 bag of noodles. My 12″ All Clad skillet was almost overflowing. Great flavor and will make again.
Yum!!!
Wonderful flavor, easy to make, easy to find/ buy ingredients. Husband and I absolutely loved the flavor – I love trying new recipes and this one is a top 5 for me. I used a Chardonnay for the dry white wine and Bella mushrooms as that is what I had. – looking forward to making this again.
This recipe is a creamy, tasty masterpiece!! I cooked it for my mom after she got better from covid 19. She lost her taste and smell when she was sick, and hasn’t gotten it back yet. She actually could taste it, and she loved it.
I was so excited that I had everything to make this. It’s simple enough that anyone can make it, and seasoned cooks like myself can feel like they have actually done something. It also makes a lot! I used the 12 oz package of egg noodles and just added about a cup of extra broth. You can also add milk or water or substitute the mushrooms for a different type which I did. It’s delish! Thank you for sharing!
EASY & ABSOLUTELY AWESOMELY DELICIOUS even without the wine.
This was excellent! I substituted thin cut venison steaks in lieu of the ground burger. Amazing and the easiest recipe to follow! So simple
This one is a winner! It was pretty quick and easy, but extremely delicious and made tons of food. Expect to use a pretty big pot though. I started with a 5 qt pot and quickly switched over to my large dutch oven. My husband only brings leftovers for his lunch at work if he *really* loves a meal and he brought a large Tupperware container of this into the office today!
Love this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I was craving some stroganoff but had no intentions of going the Hamburger Helper route (wayyy too much sodium), then I found this. It’s perfect! I had some killer stroganoff in one hour and only dirtied one large frying pan. 5/5 will make again! Thank you!
Damn Delicious is right. I made this for my family if 6 and everyone had seconds. The only changes I made because I didn’t have were white wine I used chicken better than bullion and in place of Dijon I used powdered mustard. It was amazing. The only thing everyone wanted different was to add more sour cream. Fantastic meal for all.
So easy to pull together, not to mention fresh and flavorful. I love the one pan concept and it works great here. This is a recipe I’ll make again and again.
Thyme is to overpowering. You can’t tone it down once it is in there.
i want to try this recipe tomorrow and was wondering if i can substitute red wine for the white?
We unfortunately do not recommend using red wine as a substitute as it can change the flavor of the dish significantly. You can always substitute additional beef stock as needed. Hope that helps, Deb! 🙂
This recipe looks amazing as all your other recipes I’ve tried! I’m just wondering if it’s possible to substitute the egg noodles for a different pasta as we have an egg allergy? If so which one and in what quantity? Thank you!
This is amazing! I use whatever mushrooms I can find like baby bellas and cut the wine when I didn’t have it, but I have made these several times and it is a family favorite!
This is the first time I’ve tried a one pot recipe. It was so good! And even the pot was easy to clean, no scrubbing needed ❤️
Easy, Tasty, and AMAZING!
AMAZING!!!. I would recommend this to everyone. I forgot the white wine, but still amazing.
I followed the recipe except subbing in apple cider vinegar for white wine and adding more dashes of garlic powder and salt and pepper to the meat. I used 8 oz of bella mushrooms as that was all that was available here. I think any more mushrooms would have made it too mushroomy. This dish was so G O O D. I was in a food coma afterwards and whole family ate it up! Had baked sweet potatoes as a side dish for the win! Will make again!
Awww schnappp! Just realized I forgot to add the Worcestershire sauce but was still so tasty!!
This was by far one of the best beef stroganoffs I’ve ever had. I’m vegetarian so I used impossible meat and better than bouillon vegetable base for the broth and it was amazing. We’ve made it twice this week.
