Move on over Hamburger Helper, we've got a new favourite one pot dinner in town: Healthy One Pot Beef Stroganoff!

Honestly, I don't even know why Hamburger Helper became such a thing back in the day. While I can definitely be a sucker for all things processed food (I'm known to eat a whole box of Kraft Mac n Cheese to myself every once in a while…), I just don't even understand what the convenience factor was behind it.

Like isn't that the point of most boxed/frozen food? The fact that it's super easy and basically takes zero time to prep dinner on a busy weeknight?

If you're looking to get serious about meal prepping and make more delicious recipes like these, you HAVE to sign up for my free 5-day challenge below!

To me, having to cook a whole pound of ground beef in addition to potentially throwing in extra veggies on top of a boxed dinner actually seems like a lot more work than is necessary. You're honestly better off cutting out the middleman and using simpler, less processed ingredients like beef broth, red wine and sour cream.

Because really, those three ingredients are the secret to this Healthy One Pot Beef Stroganoff. Aka, there is no secret to cooking from scratch. And yes I know these are kind of “indulgent” ingredients but a tiny bit goes a long way, and I can guarantee you it's a lot better than using a dried, packaged sauce mix.

The thought of boxed dinners is also funny to me because I'm really not the average person when it comes to weeknight cooking.

Every day of my life I'm determined to have a delicious, mind-blowing dinner with enough leftovers for the next day (or week). It's true that I don't like making my lunches, so because I'm mostly living on my own it's easy to just make a giant serving of dinner and eat the leftovers for lunch the next day. I love making giant slow cooker chili and stews for that reason. It's such a genius way of meal prepping when you think about it. Cook once, eat twice (or three times even!)

It's so hard to make anything that is just single serving anyway because you always end up overestimating how much you need of something and it's easy to chop up a whole red pepper for one meal without even thinking about it.

One Pot Healthy Beef Stroganoff

I figure you're always bound to have leftovers or more than one serving of something no matter what, and it's definitely more efficient to cook this way whether you're cooking for just yourself or others.

So as I was saying, me being the crazy person that I am, every meal has to be gourmet and fancy. That's just the way it is.

And let me tell you that this Healthy One Pot Beef Stroganoff does not disappoint, especially if like me you've had a long ass week and you just wanna kick back with a glass of wine and watch Scandal. Yes, I'm super sad it's ending this year in case you were wondering 🙁

One Pot Healthy Beef Stroganoff

With fall starting, you're bound to feel less motivated to cook and take care of yourself and that means dinners have to be beyond easy, and take no time, and give you meals and meals for days.

And it helps, this Healthy One Pot Beef Stroganoff  is freezer-friendly too. Freeze in little foil containers you can find at the dollar store to make healthy “TV dinners” – take em out of the freezer about an hour before you wanna eat and heat them up in the oven for about 45 min to an hour while you kick back and relax.

Can't you just feel the heat of the oven and the aroma of comfort food filling the house while you're bundled up watching your fave shows after work? Now THAT'S worth the time it makes to put together this one pot meal.

Will you be making this Healthy One Pot Beef Stroganoff? 

I swear this stuff is way better than any of that boxed stuff and it's a super easy way to get a ton of veggies in all at once – no side salad even required so say goodbye to a ton of dirty dishes and lots of clean up with this recipe!

If you try any of my recipes be sure to let me know on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or in the comments – I’d love to see what you come up with!

    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?

      Hey Anna! You could try leaving out the dairy altogether, it would still probably taste pretty good without it 🙂

    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.

      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 🙂

        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.

            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.

            Hahahah you are so sweet Dina – so happy you liked it so much!!! That makes my day! 🙂

    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.

      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!

    How much is “one serving” from the nutrition label?

      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.
