Simple Stroganoff Recipe

Simple Stroganoff Recipe

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's)
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 pint sour cream

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rapid boil. Once boiling, cook the egg noodles for 7 to 9 minutes, until tender but firm to the bite. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and discard it.
  3. Season the cooked ground beef with Greek seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
  4. In a separate skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Once done, add the mushrooms to the cooked ground beef mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Next, stir in the sour cream with the beef and mushroom mixture. Continue cooking over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and well combined.
  6. Serve the beef and mushroom mixture over the cooked egg noodles. Enjoy your delicious Ground Beef Stroganoff!

I did add one large onion and a tablespoon of worchestershire sauce. This was a little thick, I did add a little canned milk to thin it out just a touch. Very rich, very good. NO LEFTOVERS. This reminds me of something similar Mom made for me when I was growing up.

I pretty much followed the recipe, except I cooked it for eight hours in a crockpot. I browned the onion before putting it in. I added a few sliced carrots and a bay leaf. At the end, it was a bit too runny, so I added some instant potato flakes to thicken it. So, I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but pretty darned close. Very tasty soup that I will make again!

This is a budget freindly recipe for sure, but not very tasty. I did it a tad differently with my cooking method, so I didnt have to use more pans (Im lazy) I sauteed the mushrooms in 2TBS of butter, removed from pan then sauteed the meat with some dice onions and garlic, just for more flavor. I had to look up greek seasonings, as it isnt something I've ever had on hand. While the meat was browning I started the egg noodles, since they cook quickly. The rest was the same. Pretty good, but I like mine better, lol. Sorry. Still cheap but a different method with less clean up.

Great recipe. I added a bit of garlic, a couple tablespoons of milk, slow simmered, and added the onions close to the end because I like my onions on the crunchy side for a bit more texture. Thanks for sharing! We loved it.

I had some leftovers in the refrigerator that I wanted to use up, and this great recipe inspired me to use what I had available, including some grilled sirloin steak, which I sliced and diced and used in place of the hamburger (I can't wait to try this with hamburger). We also had some left over mushrooms sauteed in butter, which I combined with a couple of additional small cans of mushrooms. I used spaghetti, which was my last pasta choice, but is all I had in our pantry. I used everything else as called for, and sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on at the end, and this was a killer supper. Thanks for the incredible idea, Richard. It's a winner.

Used a pound of noodles and 2 of beef. Had to add a little less than a pint of sour cream tho. Once added, the meat tends to lose its original flavor so be careful with that. Also, I used italian seasoning instead of greek, it turned out to be very good, and had to add more salt, pepper, onion and garlic after the sour cream for the same reason mentioned above. Overall a good dish.

Average flavour profile, but a good quick and easy meal. I actually added a teaspoon of McCormick Mild Curry Spice. It gave it a wonderful savory depth. Nice crisp peppers and steamed green beans complimented the dish nicely.

Nice change with the Greek Seasoning. As the recipe did not call for frying onions or garlic, I resisted and did not sauté the mushrooms in oil. Microwaved the mushrooms, poured off the water produced and added them to the beef so there was no problem with too much liquid.

Instead of regular sour cream, I used french onion dip which is all I had on hand. Otherwise, I pretty much followed this word for word. Very good and very comforting!

I used some garlic and saved some pasta water and mixed in some LB Jamison’s soup base for extra beef flavor.

I think next time I’d add some Worcestershire Sauce and a little sherry. It was a little bland.

I anticipated that it need more flavor, so I added more seasonings & herbs. There was no need to make this in a crock pot, since you're already browning the beef in a skillet. I made this in a large skillet, and it work just fine.

Great staple item for when you need a relatively quick, filling, tasty meal. I didn't think the seasoning would be enough, but it tastes rich and delicious. And it's cheap, so if you want to eat well and are on a limited income, this is a great recipe for you!
