Ingredients and substitutions
- Olive oil – Any neutral oil like avocado oil, sunflower oil or vegetable oil will work.
- Yellow onion – White onions or shallots are a good alternative to yellow onion in this recipe.
- Garlic – You can use fresh or jarred minced garlic
- Mushrooms – Mushrooms are a key ingredient in Stroganoff but the kind of mushrooms you use is up to you (cremini, portobello, baby portabella or mixed mushrooms).
- Red wine – Pick any dry red wine of your choice, besides what you’re using in the mix you’ll be drinking!
- Carrots – Carrots are a great add in to this dish, but if you don’t have carrots or don’t like them feel free to use a vegetable of your choice.
- Celery – Apply notes above for carrots.
- Ground beef – For a more meaty effect you can use steak pieces or rib eye.
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- Red bell pepper – Apply notes above for carrots.
- Flour – Cornstarch can be used to coat the beef as well.
- Beef broth – Beef broth will compliment the flavours of the beef used but you can use chicken or vegetable broth.
- Egg noodles – Feel free to substitute the egg noodles for other pastas, use rice or make the dish low carb double up the spinach.
- Sour cream – Greek yogurt is a great alternative for sour cream in this dish.
- Fresh spinach – I recommend spinach but any other leafy green will also work.

Anna says
Hi! This recipe looks so delicious!! My boyfriend is kosher, so we try not to eat dairy and meat together. Any suggestions for how to make this without the sour cream/greek yogurt? Should I just look for DF versions or could the cream be skipped altogether?
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Anna! You could try leaving out the dairy altogether, it would still probably taste pretty good without it 🙂
Dina says
I made this for Sunday dinner. I want to stress the outcome
Is really a homemade Hamburger Helper tasting meal, rather than beef stroganoff. The ground beef and added veggies took away from the quintessential stroganoff taste. It wasn’t what I expected. It tasted fine. My brother had two helpings, just know that it’s more Hamburger Helper tasting than anything.
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Dina – I definitely mentioned in the blog post that this is reminiscent of the Hamburger Helper version of beef stroganoff. I know it’s not necessarily the traditional version but hopefully still tasty, sounds like your brother loved it 🙂
Dina says
Oh yes he gobbled it down. No complaints at all. I just wanted to provide a review from a reader who prepared it so others aren’t preparing this delicious meal with classic stroganoff in mind and possibly feel let down. My mistake – you did in fact make reference to Hamburger Helper. . I admire you – sharing your recipes for ppl to critique. Keep up the good work.
Taylor Stinson says
Aww thank you so much Dina – I really appreciate your kind words and definitely love all comments 🙂 So happy you guys enjoyed!
Dina says
You know what, I redact anything negative I posted. Because I just warmed this up after being in the fridge for 2 days – and guess who had two helpings? Yours truly! It’s delicious dear. Definitely a dish that gets better and better.
Taylor Stinson says
Hahahah you are so sweet Dina – so happy you liked it so much!!! That makes my day! 🙂
Paulette N. says
This looks great, and I want to prepare the dish. However, the sodium is really high. Is there any way this can be made diabetic and high blood pressure friendly? Thank you.
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Paulette – you could try cutting out the salt entirely as the broth may be enough! I’m not specialized in making any recipe diabetic-friendly but that is one way to reduce the sodium level. Hope that helps!
Courtney says
How much is “one serving” from the nutrition label?
Taylor Stinson says
You will need to divide the recipe into six portions and each one is a serving. Unfortunately I can’t provide serving size by specific measurement.
Star says
Can we substitute something else for the Red Wine? I have Red Wine vinegar.
Taylor Stinson says
Hey Star – definitely do NOT use red wine vinegar as it’s very different and will make the recipe very vinegary. You can use white wine instead of red, or just leave it out altogether. Hope that helps!
