Ingredients

1 12-ounce package egg noodles
1 to 1.5 pounds ground beef
1 sweet onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup dairy free sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons beef base (about 2 bouillon cubes)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the egg noodles according to package directions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into pieces as it cooks.
Step 3: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the beef and onions. Stir well to coat and let the flour absorb the oils in the pan.
Step 5: Pour in the beef broth, then add the sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and beef base. Stir to combine and simmer the sauce until it thickens.
Step 6: Toss the cooked noodles with the sauce until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms when sautéing the onions.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier taste and extra protein.
Gluten-free noodles work well if you want a gluten-free version; just substitute the flour with a gluten-free alternative.
Leftover stroganoff tastes great topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Storage

Store any leftover stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a skillet over medium-low heat, adding a splash of broth or water if the sauce has thickened too much.

How to Serve
