How to Make One-Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff

Step 1: Brown the Beef and Sauté the Vegetables

Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula, until browned. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and dried thyme. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and vegetable mixture from the pan and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

Add the butter to the same pan. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the egg noodles and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Finish and Serve

Return the cooked beef and vegetable mixture to the pot. Stir in the sour cream until well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Use a large pot: Make sure your pot is large enough to accommodate all the ingredients without overcrowding.
Don’t overcook the noodles: Cook the noodles to al dente so they don’t become mushy.
Adjust the consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more broth or water. If it’s too thin, simmer it uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid.
