Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef chuck
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 (14-ounce) can beef broth
  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated raw horseradish (optional)

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.
  4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and horseradish (if using). Stir into the beef mixture and cook over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
  6. Serve the stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles and garnish with additional sour cream or fresh parsley if desired.

Chefs Notes

  • For deeper flavor, add about 1/2 cup of red wine when adding the broth.
  • Roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup adds an extra layer of richness.
  • This dish is also excellent served over rice or creamy mashed potatoes.
  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
