Ingredients
  

Ground beef stroganoff
  • 1.5 lb ground beef
  • 16 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 garlic minced
  • 2 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 12 oz egg noodles cooked
  • 1 fresh parsley for serving
  • 1 paprika for serving
  • 1 salt to taste
  • 1 black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Brown and build the stroganoff base
  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then drain off excess fat.
  2. Sauté the onion and mushrooms in the same skillet for 6-7 minutes, stirring until softened, then add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
  3. Return the beef to the skillet and sprinkle in the flour, stirring to coat the meat and vegetables.
  4. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, bring to a simmer, and cook 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Make it creamy and serve
  1. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream and softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then serve the creamy stroganoff over cooked egg noodles.
  3. Top each serving with fresh parsley and paprika.

Notes

For the smoothest sauce, pull the skillet off the heat before adding sour cream and cream cheese so they don’t split. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat gently over low heat. Freezing is not recommended due to dairy texture. If you prefer a lighter option, use low-fat sour cream and cream cheese for a similar flavor with less richness.
