Ingredients
Scale
Ground Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1–2 cloves)
Sauce Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 10.5 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Serving
- Cooked egg noodles (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced yellow onion and minced garlic until thoroughly cooked and crumbled.
- Drain Excess Grease: Drain the ground beef to remove excess grease and return the empty pan to the stove over medium heat.
- Make Roux: Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Then whisk in the flour and let it absorb the butter, forming a roux.
- Add Beef Broth: Gradually add the beef broth while whisking vigorously to remove lumps. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add Dairy Ingredients: Reduce heat to medium and whisk in the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup, stirring until fully combined.
- Season Sauce: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more beef broth to reach desired consistency.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked ground beef to the sauce and stir until the mixture is heated through.
- Serve: Spoon the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and enjoy a delicious, comforting meal.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade beef broth if available.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
- Drain the ground beef well to avoid a greasy sauce.
- Serve immediately over fresh egg noodles for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust seasoning gradually and taste often to ensure balanced flavor.
