Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional but recommended)
Sauce & Seasoning
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp salt (to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp paprika
Pasta
- 8 oz egg noodles
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until fully browned with no pink remaining, breaking it into small pieces for even cooking.
- Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: Push the beef to one side of the pan, then add butter, chopped onions, and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent and fragrant. Add mushrooms if using and cook until soft and browned.
- Make the Sauce Base: Stir in flour to coat the beef and vegetables, which will help thicken the sauce. Gradually add beef broth and tomato paste, stirring constantly. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Add Sour Cream and Season: Reduce heat to low. Mix in sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package directions until tender but firm. Drain and fold noodles into the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once combined and heated through, serve the Hamburger Stroganoff hot, garnished if desired, as a comforting and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the sour cream to prevent curdling; add it at the end on low heat.
- Use fresh mushrooms for better flavor and texture rather than canned.
- Season gradually and taste as you go to balance flavors.
- Drain excess fat after browning the beef for a lighter dish.
- Let the dish rest off the heat for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld.
