What Kind of Beef Should I Use for Mushroom Soup Beef Stroganoff?
I used lean ground beef to make my beef stroganoff. That way, the beef cooks quickly. However, any type of tender beef cuts can be used as well, including tenderloin and sirloin.
Can I Make Homemade Condensed Mushroom Soup?
Yes, you can make condensed mushroom soup in your kitchen. Try this homemade condensed mushroom soup recipe. I like making everything from scratch. That way I know exactly what ingredients I am using to cook my dish.
How Do I Keep Sour Cream From Curdling In Beef Stroganoff?
To prevent sour cream from curdling add it in at the end after you’ve removed the pan from the stove. You can also add some beef stroganoff to the sour cream to heat it up. After that, stir everything together. If you will be reheating it the next day just heat it through. Try not to overcook it so the sour cream doesn’t curdle.
Can I Freeze Beef Stroganoff?
Beef stroganoff is a perfect dish to freeze. Just use a glass or plastic airtight container and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight.

The best, tastiest and easiest beef stroganoff recipe I’ve found.
I care for my 86 year old mother with Alzheimer’s/dementia. Finding easy recipes can be a challenge and I didn’t want to use Hamburger Helper. I like making pasta dinners on Sunday evening without spaghetti sauce, since mom doesn’t care for it. Easy to heat up following evenings for dinner.
So thank you for posting and sharing this amazing recipe.
I think I would have had to buy 2 boxes of Hamburger Helper to get what this recipe yields.
Mom ate the whole plate that we were supposed to share.
Thank you for sharing that with me, Allison! I’m very glad your mom enjoyed the meal and that it made your life a little easier. If your mom is okay with some tomatoes in pasta, my No-Boil Pasta Bake on my other site might be a good one for you too – https://cookthestory.com/delicious-no-boil-pasta-bake/ It’s just about 5 minutes of prep, then into the oven for an hour. I think it makes for good leftovers too. Enjoy!
Easy, thank you. I used gluten free noodles.
You’re welcome, Simmons! Glad that worked out well for you.
Yum! I was even out of sour cream, and the family loved it, thank you!
You’re welcome, DP! Glad you enjoyed.
My family is picky about beef stroganoff, but I like it. So I tried this as a different recipe from what I’d made previously. I think this is a great stroganoff recipe, & everyone seemed to like it.
Thanks, Loucrecia! Glad this recipe worked out for your family.
This was perfect as written! I don’t know why people added more sour cream. It didn’t need it in my opinion since so much creaminess already comes from the canned soup. But if you’re making this, start with teh amount given and then taste it before adding more is what I’d say.
Cheryl, I’m glad you liked it!
I don’t usually cook with condensed soup, but I do make a pork dish and this easy beef stroganoff. My husband loves them both, and will often ask ne to make them.
Thanks for sharing.
You’re so welcome, Beverly! 🙂
Super Delishhhh!!!
I tripled the Sour-cream and added thin slices of celery, fresh rosemary, basil, oregano, sage, and thinly sliced Buddha’s Hand Lemon from my garden… Thanks for sharing.
