Ingredients
Scale
Sauté and Meat
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (8 oz) package sliced baby bella mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste (I used 1 teaspoon)
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ cup sour cream
Pasta
- 1 (12 oz) package extra wide egg noodles, cooked in salted water according to package directions
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Place butter and olive oil in a large non-stick pan and melt the butter over medium heat.
- Sauté mushrooms and garlic: Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the melted butter and oil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and their moisture has evaporated. Remove mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
- Cook beef and aromatics: In the same hot pan, add ground beef, diced onion, parsley flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef, until the meat is no longer pink and fully cooked through.
- Create the roux: Sprinkle flour over the cooked beef mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring to combine and cook out the raw flour taste.
- Add liquids and simmer: Slowly whisk in beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer then let it cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Finish the sauce: Remove the pan from heat. Slowly whisk in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Stir in the cooked mushrooms. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Plate the stroganoff sauce over cooked extra wide egg noodles or your preferred choice of pasta or carb. Enjoy your cozy, kid-approved meal!
Notes
- Nutritional information does NOT include the noodles, as brands and cooking methods vary greatly.
- If you don’t plan on having leftovers, you can stir the noodles directly into the sauce for easier serving.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze the sauce alone for 2-3 months. Reheat gently on stovetop or in microwave.
