As autumn arrives in Ohio, the crisp air awakens a deep longing for the warmth and comfort of familiar dishes that evoke memories of cozy gatherings with loved ones. As winter’s chill sets in, we’ve been cozying up with hearty bowls of Lasagna Soup, White Chicken Chili, and a variety of warm, comforting soups and stews.

I craved the velvety noodles and fall-apart tender beef accompanied by earthy, savory mushrooms in a rich sauce.

Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff

Upon inspecting the freezer, I was reminded that I had forgotten to store the necessary chuck roast for my Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff dish. With Stroganoff lingering in my mind, I resisted the urge to give up and instead surveyed the contents of our meat drawer to explore potential substitutes that could satisfy my cravings.

As soon as I laid eyes on that juicy ground beef, I sensed a culinary triumph unfolding before me. While some individuals may prepare their stroganoff with ground beef, I had yet to attempt the dish in this manner myself. Given the nature of ground beef, a quicker cooking method was more suitable, so I opted to prepare this dish entirely on the stovetop, eliminating the need for a slow cooker.

Ground beef Stroganoff’s convenience factor far surpasses its traditional counterpart, offering a deliciously satisfying meal with minimal effort required. 

Within just five minutes of prep time for slicing mushrooms and onions, and 20 minutes spent cooking, you can easily prepare a satisfying homemade dish that truly fills your belly in under half an hour.

Beef Stroganoff with Ground Beef

To prepare this dish, you will require the following essential components:

• ground beef
• A pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, a dusting of paprika, and the subtle depth of garlic powder.
• onion
• all-purpose flour
• white button or crimini mushrooms
• beef broth
• Worcestershire sauce
• parsley, thyme, paprika
• sour cream
• Consider pairing with pappardelle for a harmonious union of textures and flavors.

Ground Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Brown the ground beef in a hot skillet, seasoned with a trifecta of savory flavors: a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, and a sprinkle each of paprika and garlic powder. As the aroma of the sizzling meat fills the air, add sliced onions to the pan, allowing their pungent flavor to meld with the savory scent of the beef. Continue stirring and crumbling the meat as it all cooks, the textures and flavors blending harmoniously.

After draining the liquid from the pan, a generous amount of flour is added, thoroughly coating the savory meat mixture as it’s stirred into submission.

Saute the mushroom combination with the meat mixture for precisely two minutes prior to introducing beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, select herbs, and an additional pinch of paprika.

As the beef mixture simmers, cook egg noodles (or substitute with pappardelle pasta) according to package instructions.

Combining sour cream with an additional splash of beef broth in a separate bowl, whisk until the mixture is silky and well combined. As you add the vegetables to the pan with the sizzling beef, use your spoon to gently stir and combine them, allowing their flavors to meld harmoniously together. Can this rich and velvety sauce effectively coat each tender morsel?

Savor the flavor and fine-tune the seasoning to your liking, then spoon the mixture generously over steaming hot egg noodles to create a satisfying and flavorful meal. Do you like to garnish each bowl with a sprig of fresh Italian parsley before serving?
