Ground Beef Stroganoff

A true American classic comfort food.  Seasoned ground beef is combined with a sauce made from beef broth, milk, flour and sour cream.  Serve over your favorite egg noodles.

If you have no idea what to make for dinner and just don’t feel like cooking then this Ground Beef Stroganoff should be in your rotation.

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!

It all comes together in one pan beginning with browning the ground beef (chop meat for you East Coasters) with some onions and garlic.  The sauce is a simple mixture of beef broth milk and flour that thickens as it cooks.

I personally love the addition of mushrooms but they are a love or hate kind of food.  So please make substitutions according to your family.   My kids don’t like them so I made them separate from the sauce and just added them to my and husbands plates before serving.
