Ground Beef Stroganoff

16 September 2022

 Recipe from Cook's Country, December 2017

I have eaten stroganoff only a few times. I made it some years ago and I did enjoy it. When I learned of this simpler recipe that is based on ground beef I decided to gave it a try.

Thinly sliced button mushrooms were browned in oil in a Dutch oven then removed and set aside. More oil was added to the pot to cook diced onion and garlic until the onion started to soften. Ground beef was added and cooked until no longer pink. Flour was sprinkled over the beef, then stirred and cooked for 1 minute. Chicken broth and white wine were added and brought to a simmer and cooked for several minutes until slightly thickened. Wide egg noodles were added and cooked until tender. Off heat, sour cream and the browned mushrooms were stirred in. Total preparation time was just under 1 hour.

We enjoyed this stroganoff and have had it several times since first trying it. It is flavorful even though there are no herbs or spices, and by using ground beef you are ensured that it will be tender. It is very easy to make with only a few ingredients and I suspect we will be having it again.
