MEAT: If you would prefer to use different ground meat such as ground turkey, ground pork, or ground chicken, they would also work fine in this recipe.
MUSHROOMS: If you are unable to find baby Bella mushrooms at the grocery store for this classic beef stroganoff, cremini mushrooms, white mushrooms or other varieties of fresh mushrooms also work well in this recipe.
SOUR CREAM: You can also use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream in this great recipe.
HOW TO MAKE THIS GROUND BEEF STROGANOFF RECIPE
PRO TIP:
Note that you do not cook the pasta ahead of time. It will be added uncooked directly into the pot and simmered with the rest of the ingredients until tender.
STEP ONE: In a large Dutch oven over medium heat on the stove top, heat olive oil and add ground beef. Cook beef until no longer pink and starting to brown. Drain excess grease before adding additional ingredients.
STEP TWO: Add butter, Worcestershire sauce, sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced fresh garlic. Saute, stirring frequently, until onions are soft (about 6 to 7 minutes).
STEP THREE: Add onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, and stir well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
STEP FOUR: Add flour to the meat mixture and stir to coat the mixture. Add beef broth and Better than Bouillon beef base and stir well, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to get all of the cooked bits off the bottom. Add uncooked egg noodles and stir well.
STEP FIVE: Turn heat to medium-low, cover and let simmer 8- to 0 minutes or until pasta is tender.
PRO TIP:
You’ll want to make sure that the cream cheese is room temp so that it is not lumpy. It helps to cut into small cubes before adding to the mixture to help it break down into a creamy sauce.
STEP SIX: Remove the Dutch oven from heat. Add sour cream and cream cheese, stir well to incorporate.
PRO TIP:
You’ll also want to be sure that the sour cream is room temperature so that it does not cool down your beef stroganoff when you add it to the mixture. You want to serve the stroganoff hot!
STEP SEVEN: Sprinkle roughly chopped parsley over the top and serve.
