We did some back-to-school shopping last weekend and ended up getting home right at dinnertime. I thought we could eat leftovers from the fridge. Then I started figuring out old they were, and I realized that they had lived in the fridge past my limit for being edible.
I had one hungry little girl on my hands and nothing ready for dinner!
I came up with the recipe out of necessity a while back, but we like it! This recipe makes enough for the three of us to have dinner with one or two lunch-portion leftovers left over.
Quick Ground Beef Stroganoff
1 lb. ground beef
4 oz. mushrooms, sliced
8 oz. rotini noodles
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 single-serve cream cheese (about 1 oz.)
pepper to taste
*If you have already cooked the ground beef before freezing it, you’ll need the butter to sauté the mushrooms. If you’re starting with fresh, uncooked ground beef, omit the butter.
- Cook rotini noodles according to package directions. Be careful to not overcook. Drain and rinse.
- While the noodles are cooking, brown the ground beef with the mushrooms. Drain.
- Keep the beef/mushrooms in the pan, and add soup and cream cheese. Heat through.
- After draining the noodles, begin adding them to your beef mixture. You can add as many or as few noodles as you’d like.
- Season with pepper to taste.

Interesting. Seems like a great and amazing recipe. I have bookmarked this page and will give it a try. Thanks.
This sounds great! Fast and delicious! I will definitely try it! I LOVE the taste of beef stroganoff!
Thanks for linking up!

Thanks for the linky Dian! I like beef stroganoff too, but I didn’t have sour cream when I made this the first time. The cream cheese version was such a hit that it’s a go-to meal for us now. Yum!
I grew up eating stroganoff only my mom made a much harder version. I never made her version and sort of made up my own, much easier recipe. This one seems so simple and so tasty. I bet the cream cheese really adds to it. I may make this tonight. Thanks for linking up with me on Tuesday’s Tasty Tidbits. For some reason, Mr Linky showed up twice this week. Can’t seem to fix it. Oh well….
I’ve tried some harder stroganoff recipes too. This one was truly born from one of those “what’s in the fridge tonight” moments!
my momma always made it this way – with lots of mushrooms!
