My family loves comfort food meals! From classic meatloaf, to hearty casseroles and cozy soups, we love them all! This recipe takes classic beef stroganoff and makes it even better with a creamy sour cream and cream of mushroom addition!

What makes this Easy Beef Stroganoff recipe the best

With so many different versions of Beef Stroganoff available, you are probably wondering why this one is the best, right?! Well, first, its the simplicity of the recipe. Using simple ingredients you may already have on hand creates a recipe you can quickly throw together on busy nights! Next, its the flavor! Using sour cream and cream of mushroom soup adds a creamy addition that just can’t be beat! And to finish it all off, the variety this meal offers. If you don’t want to use ground beef, feel free to change it up to use stew meat, chuck roast, sirloin, or steak strips! Add in some mushrooms, omit if you aren’t a fan, etc. So many possibilities!

Ingredients needed for this Rich and Creamy Beef Stroganoff

Here is the basic list of ingredients needed to make this simple recipe! Scroll down to the printable recipe card for exact ingredient amounts and step by step instructions. 

• Beef– traditional beef stroganoff calls for seared steak strips however, I tend to go a bit simpler and use ground beef that has been fully cooked and drained. Feel free to use whichever you prefer
• Onion– diced
• Garlic– fresh minced garlic is best, however, you can use garlic flakes or powder if needed
• Worcestershire Sauce– this adds such tasty flavor! Don’t skip this ingredient as it makes it incredible
• Mushroom– this is optional, any type works or you can do a combination of types
• Beef Broth– use low sodium to control the salt levels in this recipe
• Cream of Mushroom– if you don’t want to use canned cream of mushroom, you can also make a homemade version or increase sour cream to offset
• Sour Cream– feel free to use low fat, this adds such a creaminess to the stroganoff and really combines the ingredients nicely, You can also use plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream
• Salt/ Black Pepper– to taste
• Egg Noodles– I love these noodles because they cook quickly, aren’t heavy, and don’t absorb a lot of the sauce which can sometimes cause the pasta to be dry in other types
• Butter– this coats the noodles once they are cooked and not yet combined with the sauce. If you prefer, you can also add some olive oil in place of the butter

How to make Creamy Beef Stroganoff

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 13×9 dish.
2. Brown the beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked thoroughly. Drain fat.
3. Stir Worcestershire, mushrooms and beef broth into the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, salt and pepper and remove from heat.
5. Boil egg noodles until al dente. Drain and stir in butter until melted.
6. Pour noodles into the 13×9 dish and top with the meat sauce.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with some Parsley on top for added color. Enjoy!

What is the best beef for stroganoff?

As I mentioned above, classic beef stroganoff calls for tender strips of steak instead of the ground beef used in this recipe. I tend to use ground beef because its more affordable and I almost always have it on hand. If you prefer using the steak strips, I recommend using one of the cuts listed below.

• Sirloin Steak
• Flank Steak
• Beef Chuck Roast
• Boneless Ribeye Steak
• Filet Mignon Tips
• Beef Tenderloin
• Beef Stew Meat

Tips and Recipe Variations

• If you choose not to use ground beef and use steak, be sure to cut your steak AGAINST THE GRAIN to ensure your beef pieces are tender and not chewy.
• Feel free to omit the mushrooms if you aren’t a fan.
• A splash of white wine into the cream sauce makes a tasty addition.
• If you want to cut out the pasta, you can cook rice or mashed potatoes and simply pour the beef stroganoff on top in the casserole pan. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated through.

How to serve classic beef stroganoff

Once you are ready to serve your delicious beef stroganoff casserole, here are some great options that pair perfectly with it!

• Roasted Vegetables such as carrots, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, or any other desired veggie!
• Cauliflower Rice instead of egg noodles.
• Tender white rice in lieu of the pasta.
• A fresh side salad to pair with a serving of the casserole.
• Fluffy mashed potatoes such as garlic mashed potatoes.

How to store

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers of this recipe, here are some great tips on how to store so it stays fresh and flavorful.

• Room Temperature– when serving this dish, don’t leave it out at room temperature for longer than an hour due to the sour cream being added in.
