Hamburger Stroganoff
Well the storm’s a brewing in MN once again…..this Hamburger Stroganoff, or others might call it Ground Beef Stroganoff, is the perfect meal to cozy up to when its blustery out. It’s quick, easy and delicious. You really can go wrong with stroganoff!
Jason adoringly refers to this as “Stroggie”. I told him I was going to make this last weekend and his eyes lit up kinda like when I make Taco Pie. It’s another hand me down recipe from Mama Coleen….thank you mom! It’s way better than Hamburger Helper and just as easy in my opinion!
Update on the Evink household….we have outlets and light switches that WORK in the basement. I guess I really should have some more faith in my wonderful husband who is an electrician/plumber/carpenter. The first night the electrical was done (and yes it passed inspection so our house shouldn’t burn to the ground!) I walked downstairs to do laundry and was reaching everywhere for a cord to pull so the light went on then I want AHHHH yes that’s right I’m moving up in the world…I have light switches!
He’s currently down there slaving away. I’m not sure what he’s doing but I’ll leave him be in his future man cave. I on the other hand am taking the night off. I poured myself a glass of wine and plan on sitting on the couch and watching some TV. I found out that I can get all the “Say Yes to the Dress” episodes instantly through Netflix so I might watch that or Gossip Girls. It’s kind of a toss up!
Oh other big news in the life of Julie…I got a new cell phone today! I upgraded from my reliable OLD flip phone to a “Smart Phone”. I called my dad after I got it (that’s about all I could figure out on it) and told him that I now know what he feels like when he is suppose to use new technology. Completely illiterate! I broke out the user guide so I plan on reading up on that. Wish me luck! Now I’m done rambling so here’s that recipe.

Gail says
This receive called for a little too much sour cream for my taste. I also used cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken.
Julie Evink says
Great ways to adapt it to your taste buds Gail!
Courtney says
I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream (more protein and less fat) and added some Greek yogurt cream cheese. I used cream of mushroom soup (low sodium) and reduced the salt over all. It was a little bland for me so I upped the spices amd included paprika and chili powder (not as traditional but still yummy). I also doubled the garlic.
I am definitely keeping this budget meal.
Julie Evink says
So glad you enjoyed it Courtney! Love your twists on the recipe! Thanks for coming back and letting me know š
Crystal says
Great and easy recipe!!! My 13yr old daughter made it all by herself. We will be keeping this, it’s a easy family meal.
Julie Evink says
Impressive! You’ve got a cook on your hands!
Sara says
Great recipe! My mom made this for me all the time. I use cream of mushroom and i add a little heavy cream to it. I also use a shallot and crimini mushrooms always! I think it takes it to another level!
Thanks for sharing!
Julie Evink says
Those are great options Sara!
Amf says
Seems like Cream of Mushroom would be a better option than Cream of Chicken.
Julie Evink says
Yes you can totally substitute that!
Ashley says
Looking forward to cooking this tonight for my family. I’m planning on following the recipe exactly, however, if I were to throw some cream cheese in, how much do you think I should use? My husband is the one who usually does all the cooking ?
Julie Evink says
I would worry that the mixture would get to thick if you add cream cheese. You might want to add less sour cream or put some beef broth in.
Kathy says
I have a finicky eater who will not eat mushrooms. I on the other hand, love ground beef stroganoff. Going to give this one a shot using cream of chicken soup instead of the cream of mushroom. Thanks for the recipe!
Julie Evink says
Hope you enjoy it Kathy!
Holland says
Love it. Totally came across this recipe on Pinterest….I’m in MN too ha š
Julie Evink says
Haha! Minnesota rocks š
Jimbocous says
I’ve probably been making a variant of this for 45 years or so, since I was a teen first on my own. Only difference in how I do it is I add a couple beef bouillon cubes to darken it a bit and add some beef flavor, always use mushroom soup, and in that last 10 minutes cooking I just throw the uncooked noodles and some extra water in and let them cook there. Also may throw a little red wine in if I’m feeling upscale:)
Julie Evink says
All great additions and changes!! I think I need to make a “One Pot” version now š
Tami says
Sounds yummy. My mom always said. It’s not stroganoff without Worcestershire sauce. A couple drizzles of that and it’s considered Stroganoff. I will have to try the Greek yogurt.
Donna says
This was a favorite when my kids were growing up 4 decades ago but I got out of the habit of making it. I haven’t seen this recipe anywhere else. Thanks for reviving it.
Julie Evink says
It’s a good one! Gotta keep this one going š
Vickie Hultstrand says
I am just visiting your site for the first time, Julie, and had to try this recipe tonight. It is yummy! I prepared mine like a casserole, so my noodles would have the full flavor. Oh yes! I had to experiment just a little because of that, so this is what I ended up doing. I shortened up my cooking time by simply adding garlic powder and minced onion flakes to my meat as it cooked and eliminated the flour and butter. I cooked 2 cups of egg noodles while my meat was browning, added my soup to my meat and immediately stirred in my sour cream. I added my cooked noodles and found it too thick/dry so added about 1/2 cup of milk. After a quick taste I decided to add some Kitchen Bouquet Browning and Seasoning Sauce for some additional flavor (maybe 2 teaspoons, tho I did not measure). I SO love this dish! Thank you for sharing it.
Julie Evink says
Sounds like great adjustments to this recipe! So glad you enjoyed it!
Donna Dourm says
How much noodles or rice to use
Julie Evink says
I prepare about 2 -3 c. uncooked egg noodles.
Rachel says
We usually get our recipe from the 1965 Betty Crocker Dinner for Two cookbook . This is the closest to the original we’ve found. I usually double the flour and the pepper. My mom uses egg noodles , but i prefer to use macaroni. We use fresh garlic and fresh yellow onions. We were panicked because we couldn’t find our recipe to know the measurements .you are a life saver.
Julie Evink says
Oh Iām so glad I could help you out! Great additions to my recipe!!
Joanne Bliss says
Have you ever used this as a topping for baked potatoes?
Julie Evink says
I haven’t but now I want to! Sounds fabulous!
Rebecca Hubbell says
This is just like the stroganoff I grew up with only better! I think my mom always made the Hamburger Helper kind, but I prefer to make things from scratch and this was totally delish!
Julie Evink says
It’s so much better and just as easy!
Linda says
Love 30 minute dinners and making a stroganoff in that amount of time sounds fantastic! Love the use of ground beef, which I always have on hand, to use for one of my last minute dinners because I didn’t plan anything. Thanks for the help. lol
Julie Evink says
It’s a win all the way around! Enjoy!
