Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 packet (0.87 oz) brown gravy mix
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 bag (12 oz) wide egg noodles

Instructions

  • ** Fill a pot with water and start it boiling while you cook the ground beef mixture. That way once the meat is ready to simmer, the water is already boiling and you just have to add your egg noodles in.
  • In a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper until ground beef is no longer pink.
    Drain the excess grease/liquid.
  • Whisk together the contents of the gravy packet with the cold water until combined. Pour this into the ground beef.
  • Add the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup and stir everything together until combined.
  • Let the mixture simmer over medium or medium-low heat while the noodles cook (about 10 minutes).
  • Cook noodles according to package instructions. Remember to add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water so the noodles have flavor.
    When the noodles are done cooking, drain them but do not rinse them.
  • Add the noodles and dried parsley into the creamy ground beef mixture and stir together to combine.
  • Serve!

Notes

Tip : I like to start boiling the water before I start cooking the ground beef. This way, by the time the ground beef is done cooking and ready to simmer, the water has come to a boil and all I have to do is pour in the noodles and let them cook while the ground beef mixture simmers for 10 minutes. 
Serving Size : This recipe makes 8 cups of ground beef stroganoff. This recipe can feed 6 people, each serving being 1 1/3 cup each. That is a large serving (at least for kids) so you can feed more people if you are feeding lots of kids. 
Onion : Use a yellow onion or white onion for best results in this recipe.
