Food confession: I may have become a little bit obsessed with Beef Stroganoff.

Seeing recipes for it over the years, it seemed like it SHOULD be delicious. Thin strips of beef. Egg noodles. A sour cream-based sauce. Mmmmm. I tried several different recipes for it, though, and it was never all that special. Undaunted, I kept at it– and now, after nearly a dozen different attempts, I’ve got a truly awesome Beef Stroganoff recipe for you! Even better, it’s super simple and quick to make and it uses a lot of very ordinary ingredients, many of which you probably already have in your kitchen. My Beef Stroganoff is now a family favorite and in a house full of picky eaters, that’s saying something!
