You Don’t Need To Boil The Noodles First
Ground beef stroganoff is one of the tastiest, most satisfying comfort foods there is. When you can make it in one pot without boiling the noodles separately, all of a sudden, it’s weeknight-friendly. No extra pot to wash!
One of my best friends in the kitchen is a ten-inch non-stick T-fal skillet with a tight-fitting lid. It is the perfect size for making up to four or six servings. It is ideal when I want to do one-pot recipes with pasta or rice. Now I need a larger one to use when more of the family gathers!
In this recipe, the noodles cook right in the sauce, becoming nice and tender with sticking together. When the pasta cooks this way, the starch from the noodles thickens the sauce perfectly, and there is never a worry about the sour cream curdling; it’s almost magic!
How To Make Yummy Ground Beef Stroganoff In 1 Pot
Begin by chopping the onion and putting it into the skillet with the ground beef and garlic to brown together. This ensures the onion gets thoroughly cooked and the flavors all blend nicely. I like to use my Pampered Chef Mix “N Chop to crumble and separate the ground beef as it cooks.
When the beef is cooked, add the water, the bouillon, mushroom soup, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet and stir until it’s blended.
Then, turn the heat down, add the noodles, give it a good stir, and put the lid on the skillet tightly so the mixture can simmer for about thirty minutes. Every ten minutes or so, give the ground beef stroganoff mixture another stir, and if needed, add just a little bit of water so the noodles don’t stick together.
When the noodles are tender, gently fold in the sour cream, and you are ready to serve!
If you read my posts, you know I can never leave a dish ungarnished, even for just Papa and me, so I sprinkled on some parsley for looks! What a tasty supper!
Ground beef stroganoff is not the prettiest dish, so I suggest serving it with a nice green vegetable for a pretty plate. I wish Papa liked broccoli, but I settled for peas.
This ground beef stroganoff reheats beautifully in the microwave! Luckily, Papa never fusses about leftovers, and we ate it for three meals! I’m sure it would also freeze beautifully.
We love to find good one-pot meals we can serve quickly and easily. Here are a few of our favorites. One Pot Lasagna Soup, Easy Delicious Honey Garlic Meatballs, and our most popular ever one-pot dish, Easy One-Pot Classic American Goulash.
