Ingredients
Mashed Potatoes
4 cups mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup milk or cream
salt and pepper to taste
Ground Beef Stroganoff
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, diced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup sour cream
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Cook the mashed potatoes if not already prepared. Keep warm.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic and cook for about 3–4 minutes until softened.
-
Push the beef mixture to the side of the pan. Melt the butter in the empty space and whisk in the flour to form a roux.
-
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring until the sauce begins to thicken.
-
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until creamy.
-
Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until smooth.
-
Spoon mashed potatoes into bowls and top with the creamy ground beef stroganoff mixture.
-
Garnish with parsley and fresh cracked pepper if desired.
Notes
Use leftover mashed potatoes for a quick shortcut.
Add extra mushrooms for deeper flavor.
Do not boil the sauce after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
