Ground Beef Stroganoff

October 18, 2023

Growing up, Beef Stroganoff was one of my favorite comfort food dinners. My mom made the best Beef Stroganoff and it was made from a recipe that was passed down to her from her grandmother.

Now that the beef prices are so high, I decided to try making it with the ground beef that I just found on sale for. This recipe is a hit with my 3 growing teenage boys! They even said that they prefer this Ground Beef Stroganoff over Nana's recipe. Of course I love them both! This sauce is so unbelievably creamy and delicious! And it's an easy and inexpensive meal that doesn't take long to throw together at all! Such a delicious comfort food meal!
