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.

Best stroganoff recipe I have found!
Made this on our first camping trip of the season. Turned out wonderful. Everyone went back for seconds! I didn’t have white wine, but substituted with diluted white wine vinegar.
This one pot meal came out so delicious!! My 7 year old gave me an A plus! Thank you for sharing. Will definitely be apart of our rotating meals.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I ended up needing to cook off both ground beef and steak so I did both lol, came out wonderful!
Awesome, Met my expectations!!
This was so easy to make and tasted better than some of the recipes I have tried. Will definitely make again.
good lord, we score all recipes on a 10 point scale. It has to get above 7.5 to get into “repeat” mode. My wife took one bite and said “9.2, repeat forever”.
It is so easy to make.. only change is a little siracha or hot sauce on the top takes it.. er… over the top. 🙂
I’ll make it once a month forever.. thanks!
As a Chicago girl who went to LA speaking to the LA woman who came to Chicago. You got that Chicago Midwestern European vibe going here. Comfort food to the max. Enjoy you greatly. A fan from Florida
Lovely recipe.will definitely make it.
I’ve made this several times and never deviate from the recipe. It’s delicious as written for me and my family as we love all the ingredients listed. No changes necessary for us! No more stroganoff made with a can of soup. This recipe is just as easy if not more so. Damn Delicious is the first website I go to when I need a recipe and most times find exactly what I’m looking for or something even better. Thank you, Chungah!
Great! Must add a pinch of nutmeg though
Do I need to use wine?
It’s good, but not that much better than the “cheater” way we used to make it in college: Brown 1# beef while 1/2# egg noodles cook in another pot, drain fat off the beef and water off the noodles, then throw them together with a can of cream of mushroom soup and heat until warmed through. Onions and mushrooms optional. Sure it’s an extra pot (but how long does it take to clean a pot you only boiled noodles in?) but it’s also 15 minutes and done.
A can of soup? Really!
Seriously? SMH. . .
This has great flavor. I do mini meatballs in the cast iron before I start the cook. Just adds pizzazz and my kids love em. Good recipe!
I haven’t made this but when I do, I will make the following changes, all keto and all organic: almond flour, beef bone broth, Miracle or coconut noodles.
Does this freeze well? Thanks for your help!
Amazing!! This recipe tasted REALLY good and was easy to make with stuff I already had on hand. I’m vegetarian so I substituted ground beef and beef broth Impossible burger and Better Than Bouillon seasoned vegetable base but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I was very impressed and might even make it again for dinner tomorrow.
I make this vegetarian with beyond meat and it comes out wonderful!
SO GOOD and SO easy with ingredients already in the kitchen!!! Doesn’t need any tweaks, just make and enjoy. My sons and husband ate it ALL and said to add it to the rotation.
You got it…. that was Damn Delicious! And seriously quick and easy to make. Will be making again and again
Wow. Our whole fam was so thrilled with this flavor. I used a dairy free plain yogurt instead of sour cream, olive oil instead of butter. We aren’t mushroom people but like I said, wow. Thanks for the PERFECT recipe.
Girl, it’s official… you my new BFF! This was awesome and made me a superstar with my family!
I will make this again the recipe was great except I would add more mushrooms I would delete the wine because it makes it too sweet tasting and what I did was added 2 spicy Italian sausages to the meat mixture just to spice it up a bit. I never put it in as ground I made small meatballs. Also I put a handful of green peas in there because that’s how my grandma used to do it. Wish I could to add some pictures
My grandma used to add fresh or frozen peas too!!
Needs just a little more garlic for me outside of that tasted great
