FAQs
You can make this sauce with most pasta types if you don't have/want egg noodles. The cooking time for the noodles to be tender may vary.
Yes! To make this stroganoff sauce by itself simply don't add the egg noodles and reduce the beef broth by half. Simmer until thick and serve over rice, potatoes, etc.
You can substitute any condensed "cream of" soup but it may alter the final flavor slightly.

THANK YOU 😊 I did make this, but it was so much of a hit with my family that I didn’t even get a chance to take a picture before it was gone 😋.

Anne Marie Eldred says
I made this yesterday and my husband loved it but next time I make it I will cut back ingredients because it is too much for two people. I did add mushrooms & chopped onions but wish I had added the worchestershire sauce because it seemed to need a little more seasoning. It is a cheap & easy meal. Thank you for sharing.

Patty says
Hi, this recipe looks delicious. I saw no mention of draining the fat after browning the meat, is it a do or don’t? Thank you.
Melissa Riker says
Hi Patty, if you have a higher percent fat ground beef you will need to drain it, thank you for asking that question, I will make sure to clarify that in the recipe.
