30-Minute Skillet Beef Stroganoff Recipe

This quick and easy beef stroganoff is the kind of recipe you’ll come back to again and again. Made with ground beef and a handful of pantry staples, it’s a fast and satisfying dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

Sautéed mushrooms and onions add a savory depth, while sour cream and cream of mushroom soup bring the creamy, tangy richness that makes stroganoff a comfort food favorite. Serve it over egg noodles and finish with a sprinkle of parsley or green onions for a complete one-skillet meal.

Step-by-Step How to Make It

1. Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet until the meat is no longer pink, then transfer to a plate.
2. Sauté the mushrooms in butter until tender.
3. Return the beef mixture to the skillet and stir in the garlic, flour, salt, and pepper. Cook briefly to incorporate.
4. Add the cream of mushroom soup and simmer until heated through.
5. Stir in the sour cream and warm gently without boiling.
6. Serve over hot cooked noodles and garnish with parsley or green onions.

Recipe Variations

• Use a different ground meat. Replace the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version of the dish.
• Add extra vegetables. Stir in frozen peas, spinach, or steamed green beans near the end.
• Make it homemade. Use a homemade mushroom sauce or white sauce instead of condensed soup for a from-scratch version.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
• Pair with steamed green beans, glazed carrots, or roasted broccoli.
• Add a simple green salad or a more elegant Caesar salad for a balanced meal.

1x2x3x

• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef, 85% to 90%
• 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
• 6 to 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

Add the condensed soup; stir to blend and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add the sour cream and heat through. Do not boil.
• Serve the beef stroganoff. Spoon the stroganoff over hot cooked noodles, and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions.
