One-Pot Creamy Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced (I prefer cremini)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- 8 oz. wide egg noodles
- 1¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 Tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Let’s make it.
- Sauté the garlic:
Melt the butter in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. - Brown the beef:
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. - Add the mushrooms:
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and black pepper. Sauté about 5 minutes until softened. - Add the noodles + liquids:
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Add the uncooked egg noodles and stir. (They won’t be fully submerged—totally fine.) - Simmer:
Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir, reduce heat to low, and simmer 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most liquid absorbed. - Make it creamy:
Remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream and Parmesan until silky and creamy. Taste and season as needed. - Serve:
Finish with chopped parsley and serve warm!
Tips for Success
- Don’t skip the Dijon—it gives the stroganoff that signature depth.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and flavor.
- If the sauce thickens too quickly, add a splash of broth or warm water.
