Skillet Stroganoff
A comforting one-pan dish featuring tender hamburger, creamy mushroom sauce, and hearty egg noodles, perfect for a quick and satisfying family dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the hamburger and chopped onion in a skillet, then drain excess fat.
- Add the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and water to the skillet. Bring to a boil.
- Add the uncooked egg noodles to the skillet, cover, and simmer until noodles are tender, about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. If you're out of beef broth, chicken broth works well too. To save time, use pre-cooked egg noodles or add cooked ones directly to the skillet after the sauce is ready. This dish can also be enhanced with mushrooms or peas for added flavor and nutrition. Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Skillet Stroganoff with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for color. It pairs well with crusty bread or a simple green salad. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside roasted vegetables. This dish is a comforting choice, reminiscent of classic American recipes, and is especially delightful with a glass of red wine.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce if it thickens. You can also microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally until heated through.
