Okay, it’s finally here… and it took me quite a few tries to get it right! One-Pot Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff! Just like we used to eat in the 90’s right out of the Hamburger Helper box but now homemade and quite frankly? Just as easy and even more delicious!
No, it’s not dairy-free or grain-free, but it’s certainly a cleaner version of our childhood favorite! This One-Pot Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff is perfect for some fall comfort food that the entire family will devour and I just know that you all are going to love this one!
If you’ve never made my classic “One Pot Hamburger Helper“, this is a new festive take on it, and I hope you all just love it!
One-Pot Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 lb ground beef, 85% lean
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced thin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 4 cups wide egg noodles, uncooked
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 8 oz light sour cream
- 2-3 springs of fresh thyme, leaves only for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ground beef. Brown the beef, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. [If you feel like there is too much excess fat, drain off but reserve about 2 tablespoons of the fat to saute the mushrooms in.]
- Add the dijon mustard and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until well-combined and when the mushrooms have soaked up some of the excess fat and are softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Then, add the uncooked wide egg noodles, beef broth and white wine vinegar. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until noodles are tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 12 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and add more salt, if desired. Garnish with thyme, serve and enjoy!

I did the exact recipe besides using apple cider vinegar instead and it came out amazing! Im a beginner cook and this was such a great feat for me because I moved to Canada and I cannot find hamburger helper stroganoff anywhere!! This made up for it and it’s totally better. My whole family loved it <3 The egg noodles cooked really well, and the recipe was not liquidy at ALL. I followed the heat and timings listed above!
If I use sour cream regular (didnt have light) should i do only half?
Use the same amount
I’ve made this before and it was excellent!
Nevermind my previous! I was in fact going crazy
New fan favorite in my house!
So yum! I thought it was going to be more difficult but it was pretty simple to make. Not too time consuming. Made cornbread as a side!
Both of my kids asked for thirds!!! And my husband had fourths! This is going into the weekly rotation! YUM! Thanks, Alex!
This was delicious. My family loved it. It was quick and easy, and the flavor was great. In this heat we are tired of grilling, and this was something different that didn’t heat up the kitchen.
I was a little worried the liquid would not absorb, but it did and the noodles were not mushy. I did add some Worcestershire just because we like the taste.
Glad you enjoyed it, Amy! Thanks for the comment!
Recipe was delicious! My husband isn’t a fan of beef stroganoff, but he loved this! We both went back for seconds 😋 The only thing I wanted to add was it did come out too soupy – so probably 4 cups was too much liquid, but I added a few tablespoons of corn starch to which thickened it right up!
