How to Make Beef Stroganoff Casserole

Step 1: Preheat and Cook Noodles

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Brown the Beef and Sauté Vegetables

While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the sour cream, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 4: Combine and Bake

Combine the cooked egg noodles with the beef mixture in the skillet or a large bowl, ensuring the noodles are well-coated with the sauce.

In a 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the noodle and beef mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the layer. Add the remaining noodle and beef mixture on top, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top layer.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

• Use lean ground beef: For a healthier version, use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
• Adjust the consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water.
• Don’t overcook the noodles: Cook the noodles al dente, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
• Make ahead: You can assemble the casserole a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Simply bake it when you’re ready to serve.

How to Serve

This Beef Stroganoff Casserole is a satisfying meal on its own, but here are some serving suggestions:

• Side Salad: A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the casserole.
• Garlic Bread: Crusty garlic bread is perfect for dipping and sopping up the extra sauce.
• Steamed Vegetables: Serve with steamed broccoli, green beans, or asparagus for a balanced and nutritious meal.

Make Ahead and Storage

This Beef Stroganoff Casserole is great for making ahead of time or storing leftovers.

• Storing Leftovers: Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
