Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually stir in 2 cups of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and the cooked ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika for extra flavor. Cook until the sauce is heated through and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve the Ground Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy the rich, creamy, and savory flavors of Ground Beef Stroganoff, a classic dish that’s easy to make and perfect for any night of the week.
