30 Minute Ground Beef Stroganoff

This easy dinner is the perfect weeknight meal: Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff, done in just 30 minutes! I’ve changed up this classic recipe into a faster and easier dinner – it’s one of my favorite 30 minute ground beef recipes! Plus, it’s picky-eater approved. 

Ingredient Notes

• Ground beef – I use 90-93% lean, or you can use 80% lean and drain off the excess fat before you make the sauce. You can also use ground turkey in this recipe. You can also use ground chicken or even ground pork.
• Sliced mushrooms: Also optional but I love mushrooms! You can use cremini mushrooms or white button mushrooms.
• Minced garlic: Mince it yourself or save time and buy one of the tubes in the produce section.
• Beef stock or broth: Or chicken broth (I always use low sodium)
• Tomato paste: For some extra flavor
• Sour cream -regular or reduced-fat are fine, but I would avoid nonfat.

How to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff

1. Boil the egg noodles while you make the beef and sauce.
2. I always cook the beef with the onions and garlic to add flavor into the ground meat. Be sure to drain the fat.
3. Make a rue by combining the butter and flour, then whisk in the stock and tomato paste until smooth and cook until it’s thick.
4. Add the beef back once the sauce is thick and only add the sour cream last.

Expert Tips

• We love this stroganoff with ground beef over egg noodles! You can also serve it over cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta like penne.
• For side dishes, some crusty bread is perfect for soaking up all the sauce. Or add a tossed salad or cooked vegetable on the side like broccoli or green beans.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
