Mushroom Stroganoff

Loaded with earthy mushrooms and a creamy garlic and onion sauce, this hearty mushroom stroganoff is a cozy and comforting meal that’s perfect for a cold night. It’s packed with soothing winter flavors and takes less than half an hour to make. 

 

When the weather turns cold, I find myself making stroganoff almost every week. There’s something about a hearty, rich, and creamy sauce ladled over noodles that’s just perfect on a cozy night. I make Beef Stroganoff and Chicken Stroganoff a lot, but decided I wanted another variation that was a little lighter. So I decided to try making mushroom stroganoff, and now I’m obsessed with this recipe!

The mushrooms are the star of this dish, and add a savory and earthy flavor that works perfectly with the herbaceous and garlicky sour cream sauce. Trust me when I say you’ll love this soothing and easy weeknight dinner.

What is Stroganoff?

Stroganoff originated in Russia but is now a common meal in many parts of the world, especially Europe and America. It’s simply a sauce made out of meat or mushrooms and sour cream, usually with onions and herbs as well. This creamy sauce is generally served on top of noodles but sometimes is served over rice instead. 

Recipe Ingredients

You only need common household ingredients to make this creamy and rich weekday dinner. Make sure to check out the recipe card at the bottom of the page for the exact amounts of each ingredient.

• Egg noodles
• Butter 
• Onion – A yellow onion is best, but a red or white onion will also work.
• Garlic
• Mushrooms
• Broth – You can use any type of broth, but beef stock and vegetable stock are my favorite for this recipe.
• Worcestershire sauce
• All-purpose flour
• Dried thyme
• Sour cream
• Salt
• Pepper – For best results, use freshly cracked pepper.  

How to Make Mushroom Stroganoff

This is such an easy recipe to make, and you can easily whip it up after work. Here’s how to do it. 

• Cook the noodles. Boil a pot of water, then cook the egg noodles according to the directions on the package.
• Sauté the mushrooms. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the butter. Put the mushrooms, onions, and garlic in the skillet, and sauté until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are soft. This will take about 7-8 minutes. 
• Mix the liquids with the flour. Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and flour to a bowl or measuring cup, and mix together until smooth. 
• Add the liquid. Pour the liquid and flour mixture over the mushrooms, and stir until everything is combined.
• Cook. Bring the mushroom stroganoff to a simmer, and cook until it starts to thicken, which should take about 5-6 minutes. 
• Add the thyme. Put the dried thyme in the sauce, and stir to combine. 
• Finish. Remove the stroganoff from the heat and add the sour cream. Stir until combined, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the hot mushroom stroganoff over the egg noodles and serve. 

Tips & Variation Ideas

Homemade mushroom stroganoff is such an easy and simple recipe, but here are some tips, tricks, and variations to try. 

• Time the noodles. If you want to make sure that your stroganoff is as hot and fresh as possible, then you’ll want to time your noodles so that they’re done cooking at the same time as the sauce. To do this, bring the water to a boil before you start the sauce. Then, when you add the liquid and flour to the mushrooms, put your egg noodles in the boiling water.
• Add more herbs. Stroganoff is a meal that goes really well with herbs. This recipe calls for thyme, but you can use any other herbs that you want. If you want to add extra flavor and herbaceousness to the recipe just add your favorite herbs. Mushroom stroganoff goes wonderfully with rosemary and oregano cooked with the sauce, or with fresh parsley and chives as a garnish. 
• Make it spicy. If you like heat, you can add a kick of spice to your mushroom stroganoff. To do this, just add some chili flakes to the skillet when you sauté the mushrooms, garlic, and onions. Chili flakes go really well with mushrooms, so this is a very tasty addition. 

What Goes With Mushroom Stroganoff? 

Since mushroom stroganoff is hearty and rich, I like to serve it with a veggie side dish. That lightens up the meal and adds some vegetables to your dinner. Here are a few of my favorite sides to serve with stroganoff. 

• Roasted Asparagus
• Tomato Mozzarella Salad
• Roasted Brussels Sprouts
• Chicken Caesar Salad
• Corn Fritters

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Leftover mushroom stroganoff can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave in 20-second increments or on the stove over medium heat until heated through. You can also freeze stroganoff in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Make sure to defrost or thaw the frozen stroganoff before reheating.
