With just five ingredients, this twist on traditional beef stroganoff keeps things uncomplicated. It's made with ground beef rather than thin strips of beef which provide a strong base. The onions and mushrooms add depth and the sour cream and wine enhance the flavors of the creamy mushroom sauce even more.

Ground beef- for a more traditional stroganoff, you can substitute the ground beef with a good quality steak sliced into thin strips.
Sour cream - Plain Greek yogurt can be substituted with sour cream in this recipe.
Mushrooms - I like to use white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms in stroganoff for the best results. However, feel free to use any mushroom as they will all work. White button and cremini mushrooms have a slightly meaty texture that adds to the overall taste and texture of the dish.
Wine - For an alcohol-free version, wine can be replaced with beef broth or water.
Leftover creamy beef stroganoff can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat leftover 5-ingredient beef stroganoff over low heat on top of the stove or in the microwave.
I do not recommend freezing leftover stroganoff as the sour cream may curdle.
Chicken stroganoff - Replace ground beef with ground chicken or sliced boneless chicken breasts.
Mushroom Medley- Use a variety of mushrooms to elevate the earthy flavors try combining cremini, shitake, and oyster mushrooms.
Sour Cream - Adds a creamy texture and can easily be replaced with plain Greek yogurt.
Change up the wine - and use white wine instead of red.
Serve 5-ingredient beef stroganoff with egg noodles, green peas and carrots, green beans, roasted Brussels sprouts or sauteed cauliflower.
Roasted garlic is a wonderful addition to so many foods, such as hummus, mashed potatoes, dressings, crusty bread, garlic bread, garlic toast, pasta dishes, sauces, salad dressings, and pizza.
Yes! This recipe's beauty is simple, but if you want to add more flavor, you can add fresh thyme and a bay leaf during the simmering process. A dash of worcestershire or tamari sauce just before serving elevates the flavor.
You can omit onions from this recipe; however, they add a lot of flavor. They can be substituted with shallots or leeks. If you have an onion allergy, you can try replacing onion with cooked fennel or celery.
Yes, you can use any wine if it's not sweet. Remember that red wine has a rich flavor, while white wine has a milder flavor.
Unless it is super lean, adding oil to the skillet is unnecessary to brown the beef. If the beef starts sticking to the skillet, add a little oil or water while it is cooking.
Yes, this recipe can easily be converted to slow cooker beef stroganoff. Follow the recipe steps up to add the wine. Then transfer the ingredients to a slow cooker and cook for at least an hour. Add the sour cream, stir until heated through, and serve.
