This recipe gave the classic Stroganoff a makeover by using ground beef instead of stew meat, making it a quick and delicious meal that the whole family enjoyed.

To make the Ground Beef Stroganoff, I gathered the ingredients: ground beef, mushrooms, onion, garlic, beef broth, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, flour, butter, salt, and pepper.

First, I cooked the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it was browned and cooked through. I then transferred the cooked beef to a plate and set it aside.

In the same skillet, I melted the butter and added the chopped onion and minced garlic. I sautéed them until they were softened and fragrant. Then, I added the sliced mushrooms and cooked them until they were golden brown and tender.

Next, I sprinkled the flour over the mushroom mixture and stirred it to coat everything evenly. This step helped to thicken the sauce and give it a smooth texture.

I gradually added the beef broth to the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. I let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it thickened slightly.

Once the sauce had thickened, I added the cooked ground beef back into the skillet and stirred to combine everything. I seasoned the mixture with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, adjusting the flavors to my taste preferences.

Finally, I removed the skillet from the heat and stirred in the sour cream until it was fully incorporated. The sour cream added a creamy and tangy element to the Stroganoff sauce, making it rich and flavorful.

I served the Ground Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, but it can also be enjoyed with rice or mashed potatoes. The dish was a hit, and the ground beef worked wonderfully in place of the traditional stew meat.
