Creamy Hamburger Stroganoff One Pot Wonder

Introduction

Looking for a weeknight dinner that tastes like comfort in a bowl but won’t take over your kitchen? This Creamy Hamburger Stroganoff One Pot Wonder has everything: tender ground beef, a rich, tangy sauce, and silky egg noodles, all finished with a velvety creaminess. Made in a single pan, cleanup is just as easy as the cooking—leaving you more time to savor every hearty, savory bite.

This dish is ideal anytime you crave homey flavors with minimal fuss, making it a true crowd-pleaser for busy families and cozy get-togethers alike.

Why This Stroganoff Stands Out

The magic of this stroganoff lies in its perfect balance: umami from sautéed beef and mushrooms, sharpness from sour cream, and just enough garlic and onion to bring depth. All the components simmer together, infusing the noodles with flavor and ensuring a luxuriously creamy texture.

Plus, since it’s all made in one pot, you save time not just cooking, but also cleaning up. This is a recipe that proves comfort food can be both quick and convenient.

Getting the Prep Just Right

Chopping vegetables evenly ensures everything cooks at the same rate and blends perfectly into your sauce. Using a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper speeds up prep, especially for onions and mushrooms, keeping your slices uniform and reducing tears while chopping onions.

For browning ground beef and breaking it up efficiently, a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher is a game-changer, giving you finely crumbled meat and ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.

Cooking Creamy Hamburger Stroganoff Like a Pro

Use a generously sized, nonstick pan or skillet for maximum ease—something like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch gives even heating and an easy clean, so nothing sticks while you sauté and simmer. After the beef and veggies are browned, stir in broth and noodles right in the same pot. Let it simmer and soak up every ounce of flavor.

When it’s time to add the sour cream, do so off the heat to prevent curdling. The result? An ultra-creamy sauce that clings to every noodle.

Serving Up Your Stroganoff

Scoop this one-pot wonder directly into cozy bowls. If you’re meal-prepping or taking leftovers for lunch, store portions in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to keep them fresh and easy to transport.

Pair with a simple salad or crusty bread for a complete meal, and savor the easy cleanup since everything’s contained in a single pot.

Instructions

1. Preheat a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and use a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher to break it apart. Cook until browned and no longer pink, then drain excess fat if needed.
2. Add diced onion and mushrooms (quickly prepped with a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper) and sauté for 4–5 minutes, until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Add egg noodles and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
5. Turn off the heat. Stir in sour cream until fully combined and the sauce is creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. For easy storage, divide leftovers into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup).
