Ingredients
- Ground beef

- Minced garlic
- Worcestershire sauce
- Butter
- Flour
- Beef broth
- Sour cream
- Egg noodles

Make Ground Beef Stroganoff
To start making this easy weeknight dinner recipe, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. I used my 12 in cast iron skillet.
Add one pound of ground beef and a chopped onion to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, dry mustard, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir everything together well.
Once the beef is cooked through, drain any extra grease.
Turn the heat down to medium. Add 1 tbsp of minced garlic and 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together well.
Add 3 tbsp of butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted add 3 tbsp of flour. Stir together and let cook for at least one minute.
Next, add your egg noodles and beef broth and stir well. Once the whole skillet is bubbling, cover with a lid, and turn the heat down to medium-low.
Let cook for about 10 minutes stirring half way through to make sure the egg noodles are in the broth.
Once the egg noodles are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in up to 1 cup of sour cream.
Serve Beef Stroganoff
Once the sour cream is incorporated, it’s time to eat! Top with some fresh or dried parsley and serve!
Serve ground beef stroganoff with a vegetable and some rolls or buttered bread! Green beans, some roasted broccoli, or even a salad would all be good options.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in a pan over medium heat with more beef broth.
You will love this recipe because it’s easy to make, a quick 30-minute dinner, and is made in one pan!
Tips and Substitutions
- I used 12 oz of extra wide egg noodles for this recipe, but any size egg noodle should work the same.
- I used 3 1/2 cups of beef broth and the egg noodles cooked perfectly, but if your egg noodles aren’t quite cooked or the broth reduces to quickly add another 1/2 cup of beef broth and stir well.
- Ground turkey could be used in place of the ground beef.
- You can mince your own garlic or use garlic from a jar for this recipe.
- I used a large 12 inch cast iron skillet.
- I recommend starting with 1/2 cup of sour cream and adding up to 1 full cup to taste!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have to boil the egg noodles first?
No, the egg noodles will cook right in the skillet with the ground beef and beef broth. No need to cook them first or separately!
How much liquid do the egg noodles need to cook in the pan?
I used 3 1/2 cups of beef broth for a 12 oz bag of egg noodles. If your liquid starts reducing too quickly and your egg noodles aren’t mostly covered in liquid add another 1/2 cup of beef broth if needed!
When is the best time to add the sour cream?
I’ve found when making ground beef stroganoff it’s best to add the sour cream once the egg noodles are fully cooked. Remove your skillet from the heat and stir the sour cream in to the egg noodles right before serving. This will help keep the sour cream creamy and ensure it does not curdle.
What should I serve with One-Pan Ground Beef Stroganoff?
Serve ground beef stroganoff with green beans, broccoli, or a salad. It’s also good with rolls or even just buttered bread!

This was great! I over added the Worsheshire sauce (as always), but it was a hit!! Thank you
So happy to hear you liked it!
This is so good! My husband hates mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup. I have been wanting beef stroganoff and it taste just like it. Really good flavors.
Happy to hear that!
If I wanted to use a steak instead what kind would be best
If you are going to use a steak I would slice it into short strips and then soak it in some bicarb mixture for tenderising. Don’t forget to add some tomato paste for a little colour.
Made this tonight for dinner. We just loved it. I think I went a little bit heavy on the garlic because I used fresh cloves, but what the heck garlic is good for you anyway. I’ll use fewer next time.
Soooo good. I made some Pillsbury crescent rolls and some green beans on the side. Everyone loved it… even my 5 year old (pickiest eater ever)!!
Happy to hear everyone loved it!
This is so quick and delicious. I always add mushrooms, but to each his own. Good use of ground beef. Thanks
Thanks so much for the recipe. Made it tonight for my daughter and I. Turned out awesome….the only thing I did different is sauté and season the onions and mushrooms separate, and the add them back in after I drained the beef. (I also added crushed red peppers on mine while serving,,,.I like a little spice, daughter does not). So much better than using condensed soups for the broth! Thanks again!
Happy to hear that!
Big hit tonight Luke! This “nearly” the same recipe has been a staple in my family since forever! Grandad called it GOUP, Only difference really is the worcestishire.. wait and beef stock instead of milk or cream.. and i love when i can add some good shrooms but my peeps are too picky!!
We ALL loved it your way though.
Thanks for sharing the hearty love with us 😉
