Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 12-ounce package egg noodles
1 – 1.5 pounds ground beef
1 sweet onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup dairy free sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons beef base (or 2 bouillon cubes)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Salt & pepper, to taste

Dairy-Free Alternative

Replace sour cream with 1.5 cups dairy free milk + 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

Prepare the noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside to be combined later.
Brown the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until it’s fully browned and no pink remains.
Sauté the onions: Add the chopped sweet onions to the skillet with the beef. Stir frequently and cook until the onions become translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
Coat with flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the beef and onions in the skillet. Stir well to coat all the meat and onion pieces, allowing the flour to absorb the cooking fat and help thicken the sauce.
Add liquids and flavorings: Pour in the beef broth, then add the dairy-free sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and beef base (or bouillon cubes). Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a smooth sauce.
Simmer the sauce: Reduce heat slightly and let the sauce gently simmer until it thickens to a creamy consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Toss noodles with sauce: Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the rich stroganoff sauce.
Season and garnish: Taste the stroganoff and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh garnish before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, replace the sour cream with 1.5 cups dairy-free milk plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken.
Be sure not to overcook the noodles to keep them firm and prevent mushiness when combining with the sauce.
Ground turkey or chicken can be used as an alternative to ground beef for a leaner dish.
If you do not have beef base or bouillon cubes, substitute with an equal amount of additional beef broth.
Fresh parsley adds a nice freshness, but you can substitute with dried parsley if needed.
