Beef Stroganoff with Noodles
One-Pan Beef Stroganoff Noodles – A Classic Made Easy
Growing up during the heyday of processed foods, my mom often turned to pre-packaged meals, but when it came to pasta in a meaty sauce, she never relied on shortcuts. While we did occasionally indulge in boxed mac and cheese or pop-tarts, most of our meals—like this beef stroganoff with noodles—were homemade from scratch.
Hamburger Helper, a quick and easy dinner many families relied on, was something we never used. We had our own take on it, and I’m sharing this simpler version of ground beef stroganoff noodles as a tribute to that idea of a fast, satisfying, one-pan dish with hearty meat and noodles in a creamy sauce.
The main challenge in this recipe is cooking the egg noodles, which come in different shapes and sizes. Just follow my cooking times as a guide, but keep an eye on them, stir occasionally, and add liquid if necessary until they're just right. Once the noodles are cooked through, stir in the sour cream, and you’re ready to eat. Be careful not to add the sour cream too early, as it can split if it simmers too long. Beyond that, this recipe is simple, and I hope you enjoy it soon. Bon appétit!

Recipe Tip
Cooking time may vary depending on the brand and shape of the egg noodles you use. If the pan becomes too dry before the noodles are fully cooked, simply add more broth.
