Ground Beef Stroganoff made with low cost ground beef with all the classic beef stroganoff flavors in less than 30 minutes!
Creamy Pastas are a point of weakness for me…and just about every client I cooked for. This pasta is a 30 minute version of my favorite Crazy Tender Beef Stroganoff and Meatball Stroganoff but with all the delicious flavors you’d normally expect!
Ground Beef Stroganoff
If you’re a fan of the site you’ve already seen three different stroganoff recipes. This one is the easiest one yet using ground beef in place of steak. And even better this is a ground beef stroganoff recipe without cream of mushroom soup.
This ground beef stronganoff (or hamburger stroganoff) still has all the traditional flavors of beef stroganoff including sour cream, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and mushrooms. The only thing missing? Steak.
I promise this is still the best version of comfort food you’re going to want as we head into the cooler months of the year. You can even make this in the slow cooker!

Slow Cooker Ground Beef Stroganoff:
Brown the ground beef well and add it to the slow cooker along with the rest of the ingredients except for the sour cream and pasta.
Cook on low for 4 hours then mix with sour cream and cooked egg noodles before serving.
You can also make this ground beef stroganoff with cream cheese instead of sour cream for a thicker, richer sauce. If you want to thin it out more add an additional half cup of beef broth to your mixture.

Ground Beef Stroganoff Casserole
You can make this pasta dish into a casserole by skipping the cornstarch, doubling the beef broth and baking at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Just be sure to cook the pasta two minutes shy of the instructions on the box.
Can you use something else instead of beef?
Yes you can always swap out the ground beef for ground chicken or ground turkey. If you do cut it out strictly for health reasons you can pump the beefy flavor back up with an additional tablespoon of beef base in the mixture.
If you want to cut even more calories from the mixture you can even swap out the sour cream in favor of greek yogurt.
Skip the Cream of Mushroom Soup!
I use fresh mushrooms in the recipe and skip the cream of mushroom soup altogether. Because of this I actually choose brown (or crimini) mushrooms instead of classic white button mushrooms. The crimini mushrooms offer a deeper flavor for no additional cost and they even look better in the recipe. A win win all around!
For extra flavor and bulk (that’s healthy!) I actually chop up the stems of the mushrooms and cook them along side the beef. This kicks up the flavor a lot!

Can this be frozen for meal prep?
How much cream cheese should be used instead of sour cream? Can you use the cream chees eanyway prepped or just slow cooking?
Use the same amount when substituting with cream cheese whether you’re using the slow cooker or making this on the stove top. You can add additional beef broth if you think it’s too thick.
why do none of your recipes have the Amount per Serving? i.e 1 cup, 1 1/2 cup for 451 Calories. All you show is the Calories 451 so i am not able to keep the correct track of how much a serving size is. Please tell me what is a serving size for this recipe.
I use a generous cup for a serving in this recipe.
Easy, most ingredients on hand and very tasty. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I made this yesterday and it was AMAZING! No extra salt or pepper needed at all! I do have a quick question, however. What is 1 actual serving? Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with the world, it is absolutely DELICIOUS!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! One serving is about 1 cup.
In step 5 of the instructions you wrote:
“Add in the mushroom mixture and pasta and mix to combine before serving”…
What about the browned meat ? When should it be added ?
I guess that with mushrooms and the pasta…
Thanks for clarifying…
Thanks for catching that! You’ll want to add the ground beef back in with the mushroom mixture and the pasta.
This is such an easy family staple!
Definitley!
I love stroganoff and this easy version sounds so good!
Totally pinning this to my Comfort Food board. My family loves stroganoff!
Thanks for the pin!
Is there a substitution you can recommend for the sour cream?
You can substitute with greek yogurt if you’d like.
