Football Friday: One Pot Beef Stroganoff

When it comes to cooking on Football Sunday; the rules are simple:
1) The dish must be simple to prepare
2) The dish must feed a crowd of people
3) The dish must be delicious

The Wisconsin Test Kitchen tried a new recipe last week that fit all these requirements! We made a simple, one-dish Beef Stroganoff and it's the perfect dish to whip up before the games start on Football Sunday. The combination of beef stock, mushrooms and sour cream (we used Greek yogurt) made a rich, hearty dish we loved. And we only had one dish to wash after! 

One Pot Beef Stroganoff

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
8 oz crimini mushrooms, sliced
salt and pepper
½ cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoons paprika
4 cups low sodium beef broth
8 oz dry rotini
½ cup sour cream
fresh parsley, for serving

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a pot or large skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pot into a bowl and set aside.




Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same pot. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until translucent, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the ground beef and continue to cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon as it cooks, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the paprika over the top and stir to combine.




Pour in the beef broth and the pasta. Bring to a light boil then cover the pot. 



Continue to cook, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente, 17-20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the mushrooms and sour cream.



Serve topped with fresh parsley.


We enjoyed this one-pot meal so much; we've actually made it twice in the time it took us to post this blog... which is great considering we forgot to take pictures the first time we made it! Stay tuned for more delicious, easy one-pot meals you'll love.

Stay Cool,
