Turn your classic Beef Stroganoff into a new weeknight dish by using canned mushroom condensed soup and ground beef. A creamy sauce, soft egg noodles, and great flavors are the most tasty meal for busy days.

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.
