Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 10.5 ounce can cream of mushroom soup (or homemade equivalent)
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
  • Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Brown Beef: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until it’s nearly browned but still slightly pink.
  2. Add Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Continue cooking until the meat is nearly fully browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and slightly soft, and the beef is cooked through completely.
  4. Add Soup and Broth: Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and the low-sodium beef broth. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat, allowing the mixture to bubble and simmer gently for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Finish with Sour Cream and Seasoning: Stir in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and fresh chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff hot over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired for a beautiful, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey as a leaner alternative to ground beef if preferred.
  • For a healthier twist, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
  • Drain excess grease thoroughly to keep the dish less oily.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of broth or water if needed to loosen the sauce.
