Print Recipe

A comforting and easy one-pot ground beef stroganoff with a creamy sauce made from cream cheese, mushrooms, and egg noodles. Perfect for cozy dinners and quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth, low sodium
  • 8 ounces egg noodles, wide and flat
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and soft, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef, crumble and cook until no longer pink and beginning to brown, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed, leaving some for flavor.
  4. Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and juices release, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in 2 cups beef broth and add egg noodles, ensuring they are mostly submerged. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Cover skillet and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until noodles are tender and broth mostly absorbed.
  7. Stir in softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard until sauce is creamy and smooth.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

Do not rush browning the beef to build flavor. Keep heat low when adding cream cheese to avoid curdling. Stir gently during simmering to prevent noodles from breaking. Use softened cream cheese for smooth sauce. If sauce separates, whisk off heat to recombine. Can substitute ground turkey or chicken, or use gluten-free noodles or spiralized veggies for dietary adaptations.
