Whether you’re looking for an easy weeknight dinner or something to warm you up on a chilly evening, this dish is the perfect choice.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
8 oz egg noodles (or pasta of choice)
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
First, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set them aside.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Once it’s browned, drain any excess fat. Then, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook them for about 5-7 minutes until they become tender.
Stir in the flour and cook for another minute to help thicken the sauce.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste, letting it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce. Serve hot and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Variations
Swap out the ground beef: You can easily substitute the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version of this dish.
Vegetarian option: For a meatless version, use mushrooms as the main protein source and add in some extra vegetables, like spinach or bell peppers.
Add more veggies: You can stir in some peas or carrots to add extra flavor and color to the dish.
Storage/Reheating
I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I recommend microwaving it in short intervals or reheating it on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the sauce if needed.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of pasta instead of egg noodles?
Absolutely! While I love egg noodles for this dish, you can use any type of pasta you prefer, such as penne or fettuccine.
Can I freeze Hamburger Stroganoff?
Yes, you can freeze the stroganoff before adding the noodles. Just freeze the beef and sauce mixture in an airtight container. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat it on the stove, adding freshly cooked noodles when you’re ready to serve.
Can I make this recipe without mushrooms?
If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, you can easily skip them or replace them with other veggies like zucchini or spinach for added flavor.
How can I make this recipe spicier?
For some heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture. Adjust it to your liking.
Can I use a different type of broth?
While beef broth is the traditional choice, you can also use chicken broth or vegetable broth for a different flavor. Chicken broth will create a slightly lighter sauce, while vegetable broth will give it a more neutral taste.
