Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer the beef cubes, diced onions, mushroom soup, mushrooms, and beef bouillon cubes in a covered ovenproof dish or roaster.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) for 3 hours.
- After baking, stir in 8 to 12 ounces of sour cream.
- Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked noodles.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of fresh and canned mushrooms. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can stir in a tablespoon of flour with the sour cream before adding it to the beef mixture. To save time, you can use pre-sliced beef or even substitute with chicken or turkey for a lighter version. This dish can also be made in a slow cooker for added convenience.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef stroganoff over egg noodles or rice for a comforting meal. For a balanced plate, pair it with steamed green vegetables like broccoli or green beans. A crisp side salad can also complement the dish nicely. This hearty recipe pairs beautifully with Grandma Talton's Hush Puppies for a delightful family dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, or microwave in short intervals. If the sauce thickens too much during storage, add a splash of beef broth or water when reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the steak with other meats such as chicken or turkey for a lighter option. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as chicken may require less time to cook. Ground beef can also work well, but it will need to be browned before layering.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the beef stroganoff the day before and store it in the refrigerator. Just bake it the next day when you're ready to serve. The flavors will meld beautifully overnight, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
What can I do if I don't have beef bouillon cubes?
If you don't have beef bouillon cubes, you can use beef broth as a substitute. Use about 2 cups of broth in place of the cubes and adjust the seasonings to taste. This will still provide a rich flavor to your stroganoff.
