Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook the beef while breaking it apart until it is no longer pink. If using fattier ground beef, drain off any excess grease.

Notes
Storage: Leftovers will last in the fridge for up to 5 days as long as you store it in an airtight container. You can reheat it in the microwave in 30-second increments, or on the stove over medium heat until warm throughout.
Use full-fat ingredients: For the creamiest results, use full-fat sour cream and cream cheese, which will make the stroganoff extra creamy.
Slowly add the liquid: After cooking the flour, it’s important to very slowly add the beef broth. If you add the broth too quickly, the gravy will separate or become lumpy.
Brown the beef: When cooking ground beef, it’s important to get good color on the meat. If the meat doesn’t get some color, it won’t have very much flavor.
Hide the mushrooms: If you’re serving this recipe to kids who don’t like mushrooms, we recommend finely dicing the mushrooms. They will blend in with the ground beef and they hopefully won’t even notice they are there, our kids didn’t!
