I stole this recipe for One Pot Creamy Beef Stroganoff from Pillsbury.com. This quick one pot meal is great for a weeknight dinner. Ground beef (or cut up steak) is browned in a pot and then fresh mushrooms are added. Evaporated milk, water and uncooked egg noodles are added in next. After the noodles are cooked, sour cream is stirred in as a final step. A quick and easy take on beef stroganoff.
Did you know? Stroganoff is named after 19th century Russian diplomat Count Paul Stroganov, this dish contains thin slices of beef, onions, mushrooms, all sautéed in butter and combined with a sour cream sauce.¹ (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)
In a 5 qt. Dutch oven, cook 1 lb. beef over high heat, stirring frequently until brown. Do not drain. Set aside.
To the beef juices left in the pan, add 2 packages (8 oz) sliced button mushrooms and salt to taste. Cook 5 min or until browned.
Add 1 can (12oz) evaporated milk, 4 ½ cups HOT water and 1 lb uncooked egg noodles. Noodles will not be completely covered at first.
Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, just until noodles are tender.
Measure out 12 oz chive and onion sour cream. I actually use French Onion dip (made with sour cream).
Remove from heat; do not drain; add in sour cream.
Stir to combine.
Plate and serve, this quick and easy one pot meal.

Recipe Notes
I use steak instead of ground beef cut into cubes and I season the steak with salt, pepper and grill seasoning. Cook ½ of the meat at once, 2 minutes per side, then remove the browned steak and cook the remaining steak pieces. Don’t add the steak back to the pot until after the mushrooms are cooked. You can use French onion dip instead of the chive and onion sour cream. The chive and onion sour cream is seasonal by me, so I can only find it at certain times of the year and in smaller containers. I can easily find French onion dip all year round and I buy the 16 oz tub and use leftovers for dip on a different day, just make sure the dip is made with sour cream. I normally buy the lower fat version but I have made it with the full fat version.
