These ground beef stroganoff noodles are a shortcut version of classic beef stroganoff in a one-pan version. The ultimate comfort food with flavorful ground beef, mushrooms, and egg noodles.
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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.)
Step 4
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.
Cook’s Note:
Cooking time may vary based on which brand and shape of egg noodle you use. If pan gets too dry before noodles are cooked through, add more broth.
