Servings: 4 serves
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 yellow onion finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 8 oz (225g) baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 1 pound (450g) lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch optional if you want a thicker gravy
- 4 cups dry pasta or 12 oz (340g) egg noodles
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and stir for 5-6 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and stir for about one minute, until fragrant.
- Incorporate sliced mushrooms and stir for 3 minutes to soften. Add minced meat and let it cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes.
- Once the meat is pale brown, add heavy cream, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes to infuse flavors. Adjust salt as needed. In the meantime, cook the pasta following its manufacturer's instructions.
- Mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and pour it in. Stir over heat until it thickens. Repeat with an extra tablespoon of cornstarch to reach the desired consistency.
- Incorporate cooked pasta into the skillet and serve warm.
Notes
- Store any leftover Ground Beef Stroganoff in airtight containers in the refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking.
- Reheat small portions in the microwave for quick and easy meals. Add a splash of water to the pasta before reheating to retain moisture.
- For larger portions, reheat on the stovetop over low to medium heat. Add a bit of extra beef broth or cream if the mixture has thickened too much during storage.
