Exact Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need to make this tasty one-pot beef stroganoff:

• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 8 ounces wide egg noodles
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

This recipe makes about 4 servings. Each serving is around 1.5 cups.

You’ll need a large pot or skillet to cook everything in. The total cooking time is just 30 minutes – 10 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to cook.

Make sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready before you start cooking. This will make the process go smoothly.

Instructions

Start by mincing 2 cloves of garlic. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Next, add 1/2 pound of ground beef to the pot. Break it up with a spatula and cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.

While the beef cooks, slice 8 ounces of mushrooms. Add them to the pot along with 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms soften.

Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Stir in 8 ounces of uncooked egg noodles. The liquid won’t cover the noodles completely – that’s okay!

Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir quickly, replace the lid, and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. The noodles will become tender and absorb most of the liquid.

When the noodles are cooked, fold in 1/3 cup of sour cream until creamy. Taste and add salt or pepper if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot!

How To Make It Diabetes-Friendly

To make this beef stroganoff more diabetes-friendly, you can make a few simple swaps. Use lean ground beef or turkey instead of regular ground beef. This cuts down on saturated fat and calories.

Replace regular egg noodles with whole wheat noodles. Whole grains have more fiber and a lower glycemic impact. You could also try zucchini noodles for an even lower-carb option.

Cut the butter in half and use olive oil for the rest. This boosts heart-healthy fats. Use light sour cream to reduce fat and calories further.

Add extra veggies like bell peppers or spinach. More non-starchy veggies bulk up the meal without many carbs. You might need a bit more broth to compensate.

Watch your portion size. Stick to about 1 cup of the stroganoff mixture. Pair it with a big side salad to fill your plate without extra carbs.

Try these tweaks:

• Lean beef or turkey
• Whole wheat or veggie noodles
• 1 Tbsp butter + 1 Tbsp olive oil
• Light sour cream
• Extra non-starchy veggies
• 1 cup portion with salad

These changes make the dish more blood sugar-friendly while keeping the classic flavors you love.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

For the best one-pot beef stroganoff, use fresh mushrooms. Slice them thinly for quick cooking. If you prefer, swap ground beef for sliced sirloin steak.

Keep an eye on the noodles while they cook. Stir every few minutes to prevent sticking. Add a splash more broth if needed.

Make it your own! Try adding diced onions or peas for extra flavor and nutrition. For a richer sauce, use full-fat sour cream.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. Add a bit of milk or broth to loosen the sauce.

Freeze portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. The texture may change slightly, but it will still taste great.

For meal prep, cook the beef and mushrooms ahead of time. Store in the fridge, then finish the dish with noodles and sauce when ready to eat.
