Beef Stroganoff with Ground Beef

Awesome, easy recipe. I have made multiple times and the biggest tip I have is to add a can of water (soup can) to the creamy mix. It’s a paste if you don’t dilute the creamy mixture. I mix the dry ingredients in a bowl together and sprinkle over the meat/veg mix. It absorbs the extra liquid and puts a wonderful flavor in the meat, prior to adding the creamy ingredients. I use 1/2 tbsp liquid smoke. The full tbsp overpowers everything else. I make egg noodles and mix into the creamy mix as it’s cooking.

Well, I’m pretty sure there’s an item missing in this recipe - liquid. After cooking the onions, mushrooms, fresh garlic and hamburger, I added the flour. This is where liquid is usually added to make a gravy. I added a 14.5 Oz can of beef broth. Otherwise it was just too thick. Did not add Worcestershire sauce or liquid smoke as that didn’t sound good in this dish. However, I added lots of fresh garlic in addition to the garlic powder. As someone else suggested, I added a dash of pepper flakes, and some parsley. It was a quick and easy meal. Served over linguini.

I made it but I too made some revisions based on everyone else’s feedback. I used half the amount of seasoning salt, liquid smoke and flour. I added a little more mushroom than what it called for and 4 tbsp of butter. I wish I would have added the beef broth to make it a little less thick but so glad I didn’t follow the recipe exactly. I think it would have been thicker and way too salty. Overall with my revisions, it was delicious.

Very easy and delicious recipe. The sauce is very thick. If you like a thinner stroganoff I think this would be good by including a little beef broth when adding the ingredients at the end.
