This really is a simple go to meal. There is very little thinking involved. It is so classic and so comforting and it is done in under 30 min ~ add a veggie and a salad and dinner is served!
Most ground beef stroganoff recipes call for that nasty cream of chemical soup. This recipe does not have any creamed soups, which I love!
What kind of beef should I use?
There are many versions of Beef Stroganoff on the internet, some even use steak or venison. This recipe uses everyday economical ground beef.
Since the ground beef is in a cream sauce I would recommend keeping the beef on the leaner side -at least 85-90% lean. If you are using a higher fat beef, I would recommend browning it first at least half way through, drain the fat and then add the vegetables.
What is stroganoff?
It is best described as a creamy hamburger casserole that is best served over egg noodles. It is a frugal version of the BEEF stroganoff with all the flavor and comfort.

I can’t find the recipe 🙁 this is a family favorite and I usually click on the recipe from this link. But, for some reason I can’t seem to find it this time.
thank you! I rummaged through my printed copies and found it! It should be back to normal now.
This was excellent! I used the whole 8 oz block of cream cheese and added more salt, pepper, garlic than called for. I also used some dried parsley flakes. I’ll definitely be making it again. Thanks so much for creating wonderful recipes without the horrible cream soups!!!
I made this on Saturday and it was a hit with the hubby. Due to some health issues, I make things extra saucy. So used only one pound of hamburger but kept all other ingredients the same. He loved it. I don’t like hamburger and noodles so I didn’t taste it.
