Tomato Beef Stroganoff
Creamy tomato beef stroganoff with broccoli combines savory ground beef, rich tomato basil soup, and tender pasta for a comforting, family-friendly meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, then drain excess fat.
- Stir in the sauce mix packet, frozen broccoli, hot water, milk, and tomato basil soup.
- Add the uncooked pasta from the package into the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until pasta is tender and mixture is heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider browning some onions and garlic with the ground beef. If you want a creamier sauce, you can substitute sour cream for some of the milk. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to enhance nutrition. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pasta instead of the one included in the Hamburger Helper package.
Serving Suggestions
This Tomato Beef Stroganoff pairs beautifully with a side salad or garlic bread to soak up the sauce. For a complete meal, serve it alongside steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes. You could also top it with grated Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs for added flavor.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the stroganoff in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of milk to maintain creaminess. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring frequently until heated through.
