Easy One-Pot Beef Stroganoff
A creamy, savory one-pot meal combining ground beef, pasta, and a flavorful stroganoff sauce. Quick, easy, and family-approved!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in flour and paprika, coating the beef mixture evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add beef broth and water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add egg noodles to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For a creamier texture, add an extra dollop of sour cream. Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels.
