Hamburger Stroganoff Pasta
This Hamburger Stroganoff Pasta is SO EASY! Creamy, comforting, and packed with hearty ground beef and mushrooms tossed with tender egg noodles.
Equipment
- Large Pot
- Large skillet or sauté pan
- Colander
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Egg Noodles
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 7-9 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary, then transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
Step 3: Sauté Onions, Garlic, and Mushrooms
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 4: Build the Sauce
- Return the browned ground beef to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle in the dried parsley and black pepper. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce slightly reduces.
Step 5: Add Sour Cream
- Remove the skillet from heat to prevent curdling, then stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and season with salt as needed.
Step 6: Combine Pasta and Sauce
- Add the cooked egg noodles directly into the skillet with the stroganoff sauce. Gently toss to coat the noodles evenly with the creamy mixture. Let everything warm together for a minute or two on low heat.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Spoon the Hamburger Stroganoff Pasta into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
Notes
- Always remove the skillet from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Drain noodles as soon as they reach al dente to avoid mushiness when combined with sauce.
- Cook mushrooms and onions in batches if needed to ensure even browning and better flavor.
- This dish freezes well for up to 3 months; thaw overnight and reheat gently with added broth if needed.
- Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version or use ground turkey for a leaner protein.
