HOLLY'S HOMEMADE BEEF STROGANOFF RECIPE
This super easy and wonderful recipe for Beef Stroganoff from my friend Holly has been making an appearance at our dinner table for a long time. Actually, it was a favorite meal her Mom would make them growing up. There is something just so darn comforting about this creamy beef mixture served over egg noodles. 
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS EASY WEEKNIGHT DINNER:
- Mushrooms are optional in this.
- Feel free to add some red chili flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Heavy cream can be substituted for the sour cream.
- Want a different variation of this meal? Check out my recipe for GROUND BEEF STROGANOFF. That recipe uses cream of mushroom soup and has a touch of garlic added.

Very good, my whole family ate it up. The only thing I would consider changing is to decrease the amount of sour cream so there is more of a beef flavor. Will definitely make again!
Thank you so much Michelle! Appreciate you taking the time to come back and comment!
Yum! I haven't made beef stroganoff in a while and this looks delicious. I'll have to add the mushrooms though! =)
THIS one I will try! It looks good and it has NO shrooms! Yay!
Hope you get to try it, it looks super delicious!
Made this yesterday; Loved It! Such an easy recipe and yet so delicious
So glad to hear it was a hit for you and your family!
When do the noodles get added back in?
when do you add the noodles into the mixture
Have been looking for this recipe for over 30 years. This was a favorite GO TO recipe when our parents went out - the five of us would make a double batch of this and it would all be gone ! I have not been able to find this recipe that used to be on the egg noodle package when I was a kid. This is awesome!
Time to make some more memories Caroline! 🙂
I made it with leftover beef tenderloin from Christmas. Also added peapods and spinach. Was very goid
Absolutely yummy! My family & friends loved it. This recipe is for keeps. ????????????
I received some compliments on this dish last night. I used the mushrooms and I substituted ground turkey and chicken broth (this is what I had available) instead of the beef. And to add a bit of flavor I put in a little chorizo, a handful of chopped spinach, and one garlic clove minced. It was tasty.
Thanks so much for coming back to comment Renee! So happy you enjoyed it!
Great recipe for ground beef stroganoff.! I like mushrooms in my stroganoff, and I can't wait to try this recipe with fresh wild picked morels come this June. I used a condensed organic mushroom soup that I added Better Than Bouillon beef stock to, which made it perfectly creamy. For extra flavor I added Worcestershire sauce. This recipe will be perfect for camping!
This is so good, I used mushrooms, my family just devoured the whole pot!
How big are the serving sizes?
Super easy and Deeeeeelicious! My kids and hubby love it. I made it with the mushrooms and reduced fat sour cream.
Tasty and easy recipe! Only change I made was adding a little Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder to the mushroom/onion mixture before adding it back to the meat mixture. Yum! Served over rice since we didn't have noodles. Husband was a huge fan.
This was good. Not quite like my mom's, but good!
I have made this twice and got compliments both times. I used gf pasta and gf flour. I used ground turkey (good beef is hard for me to find locally where I live) and added a little chorizo for flavor. It was great!
Made this for my family tonight & it was delicious.
I made this dish over the weekend. It turned out great....I added lots of mushrooms. ????. Easy to make and great comfort food.
I’m a caregiver for my mom, she has dementia, and she can be a finicky eater. However, she loved this...in fact, she cleaned her plate. Thanks for the recipe.
Going to try this tonight. Don’t like mushrooms so this looks like the perfect one! I’ll let you know.
This is really good...I substituted regular flour for brown rice flour to make gluten free...really turned out good.
I made it as directed with the addition of a little paprika, a beef boullion cube, and Worcestershire sauce. I did use mushrooms too Mine turned out pretty runny so next time I will probably add an extra tablespoon of flour. It was easy and tasty though! Thank you for the recipe!
