Hamburger Stroganoff
Hamburger Stroganoff is such a succulent and mouthwatering recipe. It’s an old family favorite I found in the 1972 edition Betty Crocker cookbook. Ground beef, mushrooms and onions are combined in a flavorful cream of chicken and sour cream sauce and then served over whatever kind of noodles you prefer.

It’s comfort food not health food, but the taste of this dish is incredible. It’s so easy to make, too, with only a few steps. You can have dinner on the table in less than half an hour with this quick recipe. On top of that it’s quite economical.
When my children were little they loved having this easy main dish for supper. I loved the convenience of being able to whip this dish up at a moment’s notice. Because I always kept ground beef in the freezer and all the other ingredients on hand I was always prepared when it came to pulling this dish out of the hat!
My family really enjoyed the savory tastes of the delicious stroganoff sauce. Rather than using a cream of mushroom soup this recipe calls for cream of chicken which provides a fuller, richer flavor to the casserole.
If you’re looking for a quick, easy, economical, kid-friendly main dish for your family, consider trying this wonderful recipe. It’s especially great when you have a day full of appointments or kid’s ball games to attend. Leftovers reheat wonderfully as well.
I remade this recipe in August 2014 so I could get better pictures. The first ones in February 2013 were taken with an old iPhone 3 camera that left much to be desired. This is one of those delicious dinner entrees that we can eat almost weekly! So kid-friendly too.
Here’s a look at Hamburger Stroganoff. It’s wonderful comfort food.
This close up of Hamburger Stroganoff provides a view of the creamy texture. Your family is sure to love this quick, easy, and economical main dish entree.
Our family digs in heartily to this favorite main dish. Serve Hamburger Stroganoff over any kind of noodle–we like dumpling noodles the best but any kind will do in a pinch. Serve with a salad or side vegetable and you’re done. A quick and easy dinner is ready in about 30 minutes!
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Brown ground beef in a large skillet. Add onions and continue browning. Cook until ground beef is completely browned. Drain any fat.
Add minced garlic from a jar or fresh garlic, salt, pepper, flour and drained mushrooms. Stir to combine.
Add a can of cream of chicken soup.
Add sour cream and freshly chopped parsley or dried parsley. Stir to combine.
Stir again to combine and heat through. Meanwhile, bring noodles to a boil in pasta pot and cook until done. Drain, add a little butter or olive oil and swirl it around so the noodles don’t stick together. That’s it!!! Serve Hamburger Stroganoff over noodles.
Hamburger Stroganoff is a quick and easy meal for those nights when you have a lot going on and very little time to prepare supper.
To serve, dish up noodles on a plate. Top with stroganoff. Garnish with more fresh or dried parsley if desired. My kids loved this recipe growing up. I think yours will too.
Here’s the recipe.

I miss placed my old betty crocker cookbook and I’ve been looking all over the internet for this! Thank you! It’s on page 35….that’s how many times I’ve been in that book for this recipe. I should know it by heart!!!! I did well but I was missing something…I thought it was the soup! I second guessed myself thinking I mixed it up w another recipe. Cannot wait to enjoy this again…its been awhile! Thanks!

Yes, some of those old recipes are really treasures like this one. A lot of times you can find those old edition cook books at thrift stores. Hope you enjoy this vintage recipe.

Could I use cream of mushroom and cream of chicken? I don’t have mushrooms. Thanks 😊

Hi, Jennifer. Sure, it’s worth a try, only you may want to cut back about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of soup out of each can. Only add a full can if you don’t think it’s going to turn out too soupy. If that makes sense.

I too LOVE this recipe! It is no longer in my Betty Crocker cook book-that page is missing, along with many other favorite recipes! Mine is 46 years old, a wedding present. My mom made this recipe often, although she used the cream of mushroom soup. After we got married I started using chicken soup, I HATE mushrooms. But this is one of my family favorites, for sure!! Thanks for publishing it, couldn’t find my copy today.

Hi, Deborah. Yes, we love the recipe too. I found several old copies of that cookbook in thrift shops for my nieces. You may be able to locate a copy with all the pages intact in that way.

This is my all-time favorite recipe out of this book, too. It’s starting to miss some pages out of the back of the book (42 years old, geez!), but ever since I was little, this has been something I love to make. All day, every day. 🙂

We love it too, Sarah. One of the reasons I like this one better is it uses cream of chicken soup rather than cream of mushroom. I like the taste a lot better! Thanks for stopping by.
