Delicious Ground Beef Stroganoff is a budget-friendly weeknight dinner, that can be made in just 30 minutes. The recipe starts with a rich beef gravy (with no cream of mushroom soup) that coats the ground beef and egg noddles to create the most delicious dinner.
PAIRINGS
This recipe needs nothing more than a simple green salad, a side of steamed vegetables or garlic toast. It’s very hearty with the ground beef and the creamy noodles making it a dish you can even serve on it’s own.
HOW TO MAKE GROUND BEEF STROGANOFF
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook noodles according to package directions. Once cooked and drained, set aside.
In a large skillet, brown ground beef until all the pink is removed, drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Don’t skip this step, just two minutes to insure the flour taste goes away. For tips on making all kinds of different sauces check out my blog post How to Make Bechamel Sauce.
Add beef broth to the paste and whisk continuously to remove any lumps. Continue to stir until the sauce starts to thicken.
Slowly whisk in milk and continue to simmer over medium heat until sauce once again thickens.
Stir in salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to the sauce.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the noodles and ground beef.
Stir in sour cream until everything is incorporated.
Serve with your favorite vegetable or garlic toast.
Freezable
Yes, you can freeze this easy ground beef recipe. This stroganoff is good in the freezer for up to three months. Store in an airtight container and slow thaw in the fridge before warming in the microwave. I will often add a little bit of milk to bring the sauce back to life.
