This ground beef stroganoff is loaded with ground beef, tender egg noodles, and savory mushrooms all swirled into a creamy rich gravy creating a super simple and family-friendly meal in just 30 minutes.
Why this recipe works
Ground beef stroganoff aka hamburger stroganoff features all the same delicious flavors as classic beef stroganoff, but with ground beef in place of steak. This hearty, filling meal is quick and easy to make packed with flavorful onions, garlic, and mushrooms in a creamy Worcestershire-Dijon sauce.
Replacing steak with ground beef makes this dish more affordable and easier to whip up on a weeknight. The “hardest” part about making it is having to cut up and measure out your veggies.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions
BEEF – I recommend choosing an extra lean ground beef or even ground turkey for a lower fat content.
SAUCE – If you do not like Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute it with a low-sodium soy sauce or omit it altogether. Dijon mustard can also be omitted to suit your taste or substituted with spicy brown mustard or regular mustard. Both ingredients are optional but recommended for additional flavor and depth. Lastly, you can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt if desired.

Serving Suggestions
The noodles are cooked separately, which also makes them completely optional. Some prefer to serve their stroganoff over mashed potatoes or rice. Whichever way you choose to serve it, it’ll be delicious! If you’re looking for a side, serve with bread for dipping or opt for a veggie like broccoli or green beans.

My mother made the “real” beef stroganoff when I was growing up, using round steak. I would rather have the ground beef, as it is easier for me to chew it now. To each their own.
