Making the Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff

Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff is made with things I bet you have in your cupboard! You need ground beef, egg noodles, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup and some seasonings! That is it!

I put my egg noodles (I like the extra wide egg noodles) on to cook first, I only use 1/2 lb, so half the bag of egg noodles.

Then while the pasta is boiling and cooking I brown my ground beef, in a large skillet, then rinse it and drain it. Then the ground beef goes back into the same skillet.

SIDE NOTE: It is totally a personal preference on if you need to rinse your ground beef. Most people just drain their meat and don’t rinse it because they worry the lose all the flavor when they rinse it. I just feel better rinsing it…weird, I know….do as you wish.

Next, I add my can of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream and seasonings.

You can easily adjust the seasonings to your liking.

Last, add in the cooked egg noodles once they are done and drained.

I always salt and pepper to taste, then let it warm a bit longer, then taste and adjust again once all the flavors have warmed and come together!

Easy as that, and in under 30 minutes you will have a hot, delicious meal on the table that everyone will like!

Stretch this to feed more people

If you want it extra saucy, double the sauce.

This recipe feeds my family of 5 easily with leftovers (it makes about 8 cups so you could feed more than 5 depending on serving size).

If you are needing to feed more people, you can double the sauce and noodles. Add another can of cream of mushroom soup and more sour cream and seasonings and cook the entire bag (1 lb.) of egg noodles…it works great with the same amount of ground beef so you don’t have to add more (or add more ground beef, because really that is the best part!)

If you have leftovers it will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days and can be reheated in the microwave or stovetop. This stroganoff made with ground beef is just as tasty the next day!

Hope you enjoy!
