A ground beef stroganoff recipe shared by a friend on Facebook calls for simmering browned beef with onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and prepared mustard for about an hour before stirring in light sour cream and softened light cream cheese. The recipe serves four and is intended to be served over egg noodles.
The author writes that she could not find a ground beef version of stroganoff she liked, asked on Facebook, and received the recipe in a private message from a friend. She says she tried it and loved it.
What the recipe calls for
The ingredient list is built around 1 pound of ground beef, seasoned with ¼ teaspoon each of salt and ground black pepper. It also uses 1 tablespoon of butter, one diced onion, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of beef broth, 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, ¾ teaspoon of prepared mustard, ¼ cup of light sour cream and ¼ cup of softened light cream cheese.
How it comes together
The beef is crumbled into a large skillet over medium-high heat, seasoned, and cooked until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. After draining excess grease and transferring the beef to a bowl, butter is melted in the same skillet over medium heat, and the onion and garlic are cooked until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Flour is stirred in and cooked for about 1 minute until browned, then the beef returns to the skillet.
Beef broth is poured over the mixture and brought to a boil, followed by the Worcestershire sauce and mustard. The skillet is covered, heat is reduced to medium-low, and the mixture simmers until it reaches a gravy-like consistency, about 1 hour. The sour cream and cream cheese are stirred in just before serving.
