Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (10.75 ounces / 305 grams) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 3/4 cup sour cream, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke, or to taste (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Warm a spacious skillet over moderate temperature, gently melting butter until it coats the cooking surface.
- Introduce chopped mushrooms and diced onions, sautéing until they transform into a soft, translucent medley with delicate caramelized edges.
- Incorporate ground beef into the aromatic vegetable mixture, breaking the meat into fine crumbles and cooking until it achieves a rich, uniform brown coloration.
- Carefully drain any accumulated excess fat from the skillet to maintain a clean, concentrated flavor profile.
- Sprinkle flour and aromatic seasonings – garlic powder, seasoning salt, paprika, and freshly ground black pepper – evenly across the meat, stirring consistently to create a fragrant, well-coated mixture.
- Pour condensed cream of mushroom soup into the skillet, gently stirring and allowing the ingredients to meld together while bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat to a low setting and fold in velvety sour cream, a dash of liquid smoke (if desired), and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring each ingredient is thoroughly integrated.
- Continue cooking until the stroganoff reaches a heated, creamy consistency with harmonious flavors.
- Elegantly present the stroganoff atop a bed of freshly prepared noodles or steamed rice, creating a comforting and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a cleaner, more flavorful dish.
- Homemade cream of mushroom soup can elevate the richness and control sodium levels for a healthier version.
- Swap traditional beef with ground turkey or plant-based alternatives for a lighter, diet-friendly adaptation.
- Toast spices briefly before adding to intensify their flavors and create a more complex taste profile in the stroganoff.
