Ground Beef Stroganoff made with hamburger and sour cream is always a clean plate dish at our home. Creamy rich, super filling, and totally easy to make it will be your new favorite weekday dinner!
Stroganoff made with ground beef (hamburger meat) is a super simple and incredibly flavorful meal. In our home it’s a hit with all five kids! You can serve the ground beef stroganoff over traditional flat egg noodles, or mix it up a little and use whole wheat noodles, or even zucchini noodles! I like to serve this simple recipe alongside our three ingredient peanut butter cookies. Mmmmm.

How do you make a ground beef stroganoff?
We make our ground beef stroganoff on the stove top. It comes together super quickly because there are only a handful of ingredients. Depending on what cut of beef you use, it can be done in as little as fifteen minutes!
The backbone of a good hamburger stroganoff is going to be the sour cream base, so I implore you not to use the fat free or low fat stuff. Indulge in a rich an velvety sour cream. You won’t be sorry.
What is the recipe for ground beef stroganoff?
We use a combination of ground beef (hamburger meat), onions, mushrooms, beef boullion, and sour cream for our ground beef stroganoff.
It really is that basic. But sometimes basic is delicious. My kids like ground beef stroganoff served over egg noodles, but I like it just in a bowl with a spoon or on top of a baked potato!

I love the idea of whole wheat noodles. My family only eats them when I serve with a good sauce. If they can taste the noodle they balk. I bet this recipe would mask the taste nicely. Thank!

That looks and sounds delish. I love beef stroganoff. It was so great spending the weekend with you at the Food Blog Forum.

Made this tonight – and it was another crowd pleaser! Mom and Dad came to visit – loved it, and husband liked it so much he ate about 3 servings.
I did try a new product – rather than the bullion you suggested, I used the new Knorr's concentrated beef broth and dropped it right in with the sour cream. I think it really was a nice touch.
I also used a white truffle and garlic olive oil to sautee the onions.
I must say – this dish was amazing.
