This ground beef stroganoff noodle dish is an easy, one-pan version of classic beef stroganoff. It’s super comforting with tasty ground beef, mushrooms, and egg noodles.
Like many kids from the era of processed foods, my mom often bought pre-packaged, just-add-water meals. But for pasta or noodles with ground meat sauce, her hamburger was perfect without any help. We sometimes ate boxed mac and cheese or Pop-Tarts, but dishes like these ground beef stroganoff noodles were always made from scratch.
Ground Beef Stroganoff Noodles
These ground beef stroganoff noodles are a shortcut version of classic beef stroganoff in a one-pan version.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 pound ground beef
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 ⅓ tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons vodka Optional
- 2 ½ cups beef broth or as needed
- 1 cup water
- 2 ½ cups egg noodles
- ½ cup sour cream plus more for serving
- 2 tablespoons fresh sliced chives or green onions
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Melt butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt, and saute, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add onion and ground beef. Cook, stirring, until meat is browned and crumbly, and onions turn soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and cayenne.
- Stir in minced garlic and flour, and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in vodka and allow to evaporate, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in beef broth and water and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, and mix in noodles. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 5 minutes. Uncover and stir thoroughly. Cover again and cook until noodles are just tender, about 3 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
- Once noodles are cooked, reduce heat to low, and stir in sour cream.
- Serve immediately with additional sour cream and green onions or chives if so desired.
