Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

MUSHROOMS

  • 8 ounces Crimini Mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

CREAM SAUCE

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 medium Onion diced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 3 cups Beef Broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • teaspoons Beef Bouillon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 2 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 12 ounces Egg Noodles

Instructions

Sautéed Mushrooms

  • In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat melt the butter and olive oil. Once completely melted increase the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms. Toss to coat in the fat mixture and let sizzle for 3 minutes.
  • Toss the mushrooms again and let cook until they're softened and have absorbed the flavor, about 5 more minutes.
  • Stir in the salt and pepper and use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms from the skillet and place them on a side plate.

Stroganoff Sauce

  • In the same skillet add the beef and onions, making sure to break the beef apart as it browns, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add garlic. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Mix the flour in with the beef and onions, tossing to coat. Reduce the heat to low.
  • Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, beef bouillon, and the paprika and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat even more to a simmer. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 to 10 minutes (while the sauce is simmering cook the egg noodles according to package directions if using).
  • Mix in the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and melted into the sauce. Then add the mushrooms back in and stir to combine.
  • Spoon the ground beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles (or mashed potatoes or rice).

Notes

  • Make this a vegetarian recipe. Leave off the ground beef and just use extra mushrooms for a delicious mushroom stroganoff recipe.
  • Quickly stir the cream cheese and sour cream into the sauce and once melted remove it from the heat so it doesn't curdle.
  • You can substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt if you'd like or if that's all you have on hand.
 

Storage Information

  • Leftovers: Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and keep it stored in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • Freezing Instructions: Don't cook the noodles if you plan on freezing the stroganoff sauce. Cook the sauce completely and allow it to cool. Pour it into a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating Instructions: To reheat allow the sauce to thaw completely if preparing from frozen. Drain any excess liquid that has separated from the sauce. Place into a pot an heat on the stove until warmed throughout or heat it in the microwave.
