Homemade Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff – healthy ground beef stroganoff easy recipes
This Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff really hits the spot when you're hungry, tired, and just want something warm and homemade without a fuss. I’ve made this so many times, I could probably do it with my eyes closed—but don’t worry, I promise I kept them open for this batch.
The noodles soak up that creamy, beefy sauce like a sponge. You know the kind of dish where you keep going back for just one more bite, and then, well... suddenly your bowl’s empty? Yeah, it’s that kind of dinner. The tang from the sour cream plays nice with the savory ground beef and soft egg noodles, and it’s all done in one skillet.
We love serving it with a little parsley on top if we’re feeling fancy (which, let’s be honest, is not that often). Whether it’s a quick dinner or a comforting lunch leftover, this stroganoff’s always welcome at our table.
