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 white wine (pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc) 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.
what to serve with one pot beef stroganoff

Great meal my family loved it! Easy and tasty!!
So good!! I loved the one pot recipe, makes cleanup so easy. I don’t like mushrooms but have had stroganoff before and wanted to try and make it myself. It was just what I was hoping for! This recipe will be saved for later use for sure!
This was amazing!! I have read thru the reviews and I am wondering if those who had issues with it being too liquidy added the flour to the ground beef and drippings before adding any liquid and the noodles? I brought it to a boil and then turned it down and covered the pot and just left it for about 20 mins. I was pretty shocked to see it was already thick and gravy like. The only thing I did differently was add a hefty amount of paprika and a tablespoon of heinz 57 steak sauce…..perfect! And it is just as easy to toss together as noodles, beef and cream of mushroom. And sooooo much tastier!!
I looked the comments and thought I’d give it a shot since so many said it was the best stroganoff they ever had. I was thoroughly disappointed the thyme overpowered the whole thing that also just wasn’t that tasty. Maybe I just don’t like stroganoff but it did not meet my expectations. But that being said, atleast you are sharing recipes and letting people try them out. Keep cooking and sharing and maybe I’ll like the next recipe better!
Did you use Ground Thyme or Dried Thyme Leaves?The ground thyme would be very overpowering.
I love this recipe, my older kids really enjoy it too. My husband likes this a lot better than how I used to make stroganoff, which was just with a cream of mushroom soup and sour cream, beef and noodles only. There are rarely leftovers when I make this for dinner.
Extremely delicious!! Added kale and zucchini and left over cooked beef roast ( cheap cut of meat) instead of ground beef. Will definitely make again. It was very flavoursome.
This is now my go to for beef stroganoff. This is my third time making it and it is a HIT. I use sliced sirloin for mine instead of ground beef. The flavor is spot on AND only one pot to clean.
This is amazing! First time trying the recipe and already have plans for next time.
Absolutely Delicious! I made it for the first time tonight and my four boys loved it!! Keeping mushrooms on the bigger side allowed one to pick them out. This was easy to make and will definitely be a winter favorite!
Made this for the family and it was a hit. I did use beefy mushroom soup in place of the wine. The kids loved it!!!
My husband and I are constantly trying stroganoff recipes, so many are just okay. Decided to throw this one together since I had everything on hand last night. This was AMAZING, I had texted my husband that I made it and it’s was in the fridge when he got home super late from work. When I woke up it was gone, what he couldn’t finish last night he packed for work this morning. No more searching, this is our permanent recipe now. Thank you!
Its so damn good.
Could you substitute a dry sherry in place of white wine?
Best Stroganoff recipe I have used. Added a splash of red wine vinegar for added zing.
This was great meal for the family! The only thing I added is the umami mushroom seasoning from TJs. Which I tend to add to every meal with mushrooms! Plus we don’t use fresh garlic and onions due to dietary restrictions but did substitute some dry. I added the entire bag of noodles and cooked it a bit longer to soak up any liquid!
This looks delicious! Can you refrigerate this with the noodles and serve the next day? What about freezing – is it good?
Made this last night, exactly as written. Everyone loved it! Adding this to the regular dinner rotation.
This recipe is so. effing. amazing. I simply don’t have words.
Because I like to drink white wine more than I like to cook with it, I opted for two or so tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with the remaining water requirement to equate to the 1/4 cup of white wine, and I also cut back on the amount of beef broth by 1 Cup as I was using gluten-free noodles (thyroid decided to die, but 2020 and all that) and they can be fussy in too much liquid.
It was beyond perfect.
My toddler “helped” me cook and she devoured her bowl at the dinner table. Normally she tries to run off after one or two bites of dinner claiming that she’s “done” as she rather be off playing, but she destroyed this dinner tonight. Clean bowl. Asked for more and picked from my own bowl.
And it’s so simple to make and so delicious, I simply don’t have words beyond a sincere thank you to the masters behind it. Well done. This will be a common dish in my household. It’s amazing.
Stroganoff sauce came out delicious.
My husband loved it. I didn’t add pasta, made some modifications and served this meat sauce with mashed potatoes. 5 stars
Two words…Damn Delicious!
Love this recipe but highly recommend adding some parmesan, you can do it as a garnish but i like to add some with the sour cream, just add it to be as cheesy/stringy as you like and then garnish with a little more.
