How to make Ground Beef Stroganoff

Start by browning your ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Break it up a little bit as you go but not too much as you will want a little bit of chunky beef in there. Once the beef is about halfway browned add the butter, onions, and mushrooms.  After the beef and mushrooms are fully browned reduce the heat to low.  Then add the garlic, thyme and parsley stirring to combine.

Next sprinkle with the flour and cook on the reduced heat for about 2 minutes gently stirring the flour to coat.  Now slowly add the beef broth, Worcestershire Sauce, and Dijon Mustard while stirring to combine.  Once thoroughly combined simmer for about 7-10 minutes stirring several times.  Stir in the sour cream and cook for another 1-2 minutes. If desired garnish with fresh parsley. This delicious mushroom gravy recipe is the perfect way to take this ground beef stroganoff to the next level.

What to serve with Ground Beef Stroganoff

• A simple garden salad
• Crusty baguette with soft butter
• Oven Roasted Parmesan Asparagus
• Egg noodles
• Angel hair pasta
• Mashed Potatoes
• Parmesan Roasted Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts
• Homemade Bread
• Roasted Potatoes
• Rice Pilaf

Recipe Notes and Helpful Tips

• Use a good lean ground beef as I like to add a tad of butter to add flavor to the mushrooms and so they cook up real brown.
• Ground turkey or ground pork can but substituted for the ground beef. 
• If you have excess grease after browning the ground beef drain it before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
• Both white button mushrooms and cremini mushrooms work well for this recipe.  Heck go crazy and use some of each for more flavor.
• I like to use Amish egg noodles but any egg noodle will work.  Or serve over mashed potatoes, angel hair pasta or rice.
• If the gravy gets to thick thin down with 1/4 cup of beef broth at a time until desired consistency.
• Wait until serving time to combine with the egg noodles as the noodles tend to soak up too much of the gravy and get mushy.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat simply heat in a pan over medium low heat or in the microwave at a reduced power.
