Ingredients
Scale
Beef Stroganoff
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 packet (0.87 ounce) brown gravy mix plus amount of water as per package instructions
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
Noodles
- 8 ounces extra wide egg noodles
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once cooked through, drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Add Aromatics and Seasoning: Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir everything together well to combine the flavors.
- Add Gravy and Creamy Ingredients: Pour in the brown gravy mix with the amount of water called for on the packet, the sour cream, and the cream of mushroom soup. Stir the mixture thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and let the beef mixture simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Towards the end of simmering, stir in the dried parsley for added flavor.
- Cook the Noodles: While the sauce simmers, cook the extra wide egg noodles according to the package instructions in a pot of boiling water. Once tender, drain the noodles thoroughly.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the cooked noodles directly into the skillet with the beef stroganoff sauce. Gently stir to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Serve the dish hot and enjoy your comforting beef stroganoff!
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and keep the dish lighter.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade beef broth with the gravy mix water instead of plain water.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
- Fresh parsley can be used instead of dried for a brighter herb flavor.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free gravy mix and noodles.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
