Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff Tips

What can you use instead of sour cream in ground beef stroganoff?

Use a cup of plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt for an easy swap. To make your ground beef stroganoff dairy-free, mix in coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk, plus lemon juice and mustard to taste. Keep those non-dairy milks on hand for more delicious dairy-free dinner recipes.

What else can I add to this ground beef stroganoff?

You can stir in 1/4 cup brandy to your sauce (cook it long enough to reduce the alcohol). Saute sweet peppers with the onions, and add a dash of paprika to the finished product. Make it your own with inspiration from other ground beef recipes.

Can I make this ground beef stroganoff ahead of time?

You can make the whole recipe ahead a day or two, but store the meat and sauce separately from your noodles. Reheat the mixture on the stovetop, adding milk to the sauce if needed. Find your next easy dinner in one of these ground beef recipes!

Ingredients

cost per recipe: $9.51

  • 8 ounces uncooked medium egg noodles or whole wheat egg noodles (about 4 cups)
  • 1 pound boneless beef sirloin steak or beef top round steak, 3/4-inch thick, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 can (10 1/2 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup or 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup or Cream of Mushroom Soup or Condensed Unsalted Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 3/4 cup Swanson® Beef Broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream or plain yogurt

Instructions

  • Tips

    • If preparing using Unsalted Cream of Mushroom you can add salt to taste.  Our test kitchen found that 1/4 teaspoon of salt enhanced the flavor of the recipe and contributes an additional 147.5 mg of sodium per serving, but you can add less or more to make it right for you.

    • Make Ahead Freezer Meal: Omit or reserve the fresh parsley as an optional topping.  Prepare the noodles and beef mixture as directed.  Cool completely.  Layer the cooled noodles and beef mixture in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan, wrap tightly and freeze.  From frozen, bake, covered, at 350°F for 50 minutes.  Or, thaw in the refrigerator, bake, covered, for 35 minutes.  Top with the optional parsley before serving, if desired.

  • Step 1

    Cook and drain the noodles according to the package directions.  While the noodles are cooking, season the beef with salt and pepper.  Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until well browned, stirring often. Remove the beef from the skillet.  Pour off any fat.

  • Step 2

    Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until lightly browned.  Stir in the soup, broth, Worcestershire, garlic powder and paprika and heat to a boil.

  • Step 3

    Stir in the sour cream.  Return the beef to the skillet and cook until done (do not boil).  Season to taste.  Serve the beef mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

    As I like my noodles swimming in sauce, I doubled the sauce recipe. After making the sauce, I tasted it before adding the beef & sour cream to see if any seasoning adjustments were needed for my taste ... added some onion powder and garlic powder, fresh ground black pepper, & salted to taste. Then I added the beef. I also added more sour cream then the recipe called for, for the doubled sauce, I added 1 cup instead of 2/3 cup then folded it in with the beef and sauce. Any recipe is a general guideline, what it tastes like when it gets served is on the person that prepares it.

    What is the sauce in beef stroganoff made of?

    Sauce Ingredients: Butter, onion, garlic, white wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, flour and plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream) are the ingredients used to make classic beef stroganoff sauce. If you prefer not to cook with wine, feel free to just add in a little extra beef stock instead.

    What can I use instead of sour cream in stroganoff?

    Two of the best substitutes for sour cream in beef stroganoff are: Greek yogurt and cream cheese. This recipe uses 1/2 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. Greek yogurt has the slight acidic “tang” that is closest to the flavor of sour cream.

    Why do you add flour to beef stroganoff?

    How to Thicken Beef Stroganoff. The sauce is thicken by making a roux, which is simple a mixture or a little fat and a little flour. the flour is toasted in the butter so the raw taste is cooked out, and then this mixture will thicken the broth, sour cream and other ingredients in the sauce.

    How do you make beef stroganoff better?

    The longer you simmer, the more tender it will be. If it starts to get low on broth, you can add some extra. The 2 hours in the recipe is important, even at 1 ½ hours the meat is still not tender enough, it's been tested that many times. I think what makes this the best beef stroganoff ever is the sour cream sauce.
