Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff, a popular dish among many… Known as “fancy hamburger helper” around these parts. A step up from the boxed meal!
Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff Recipe
What makes this particular recipe easy for me to make after a long busy day is the fact that I don’t have to dredge sirloin steak pieces in flour, and then brown the steak, and blah, blah, blah. Mind you I do enjoy a good beef stroganoff with the sirloin or chuck beef pieces.
But when I have had a long day, and there is still more to do, this recipe cuts my cooking time down drastically. Plus I still get the beef stroganoff dinner I was craving. And a box of processed goodness was never grabbed….. And all is well with the world……
Fancy Hamburger Helper
And even though this recipe may seem as if it were taken down a notch by using ground beef, the robust flavors of the mustard and wine will knock your socks off. Take a look at the recipe below and hopefully you will get to enjoy my family’s “fancy hamburger helper – box not included”.
Budget Friendly Tips
This meal cost me about $8 total (roughly)- about 1.33 per serving (6 servings). My noodles, I got on sale for 99cents. Instead of using sirloin beef- I went the cheaper route and used ground beef.
The chicken broth was 50cents after using a coupon. I also used the phone app rebate for my mushrooms.
Without coupons this still should only cost about $10 after tax…. That’s about $1.66 per serving, which is still cheaper than eating out…
