One Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff

Sometimes you just need an easy and quick meal. I was looking for something to make one night and realized I had all the ingredients for a delicious One Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff! The prep time is almost non-existent, everything gets thrown in one big pot and in a mere 60 minutes, you have dinner!

Recipe: One Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff

Total Time: ~60 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced*
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1/4 – 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
• 3/4 cup dry white wine (reserve 1/4 c for later)
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 3 Tbsp flour
• 4 cups (one quart container) broth or stock**
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 – 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 8 ounces (half bag) dried egg noodles

*I hate mushrooms, so I did not include them in this recipe! However, cremini or shiitake mushrooms are the typical type to put in a stroganoff.

**This is beef stroganoff, so you will probably want to use beef stock. All I had on hand was chicken broth, so that is what I used- and it was absolutely delicious. Use whatever you have!

Instructions:

• If you haven’t chopped up your onions, rosemary, garlic and mushrooms yet, do so!
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook mushrooms until browned and set aside in a bowl for later. If you aren’t using mushrooms, skip this step.
• Add butter to the large pot. Once it’s melted, add the garlic and onion and simmer about 5 minutes, stirring occassionaly. Add ground beef. Cook until browned, about 7 minutes, breaking up any large pieces.
• Add flour, paprika, rosemary and stir until well blended. Stir in 1/2 cup wine and lemon juice. Be sure to scrape sides and bottom so it doesn’t stick! Cook for a few minutes to let wine cook down.
• Add broth, last 1/4 c of wine, salt and pepper and stir well. Raise to medium-high heat and bring to simmer.
• Once simmering, reduce heat to medium low. Add noodles (and mushrooms, if you are using them!) Cook noodles according to their package (usually 6-9 minutes), stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream.
• Let cook for 8-10 minutes until thickened.
• Add extra salt, pepper and rosemary to taste.
• Pair with the rest of your bottle of white wine and enjoy!
