Ground Beef Stroganoff Freezer Meal

Servings: 6

Calories: 255 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef browned
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3/4 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 10 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp. parsley
  • dash pepper
Instructions

  1. To assemble this meal, add the ground beef to a large resealable bag.

  2. Add all the other ingredients to the bag and squish them around to combine.

  3. Remove excess air and seal.
  4. Lay flat and freeze.

  5. On the day of cooking, thaw and then cook in the slow cooker on low for 2-5 hours. If you prefer, you can instead heat the beef stroganoff in a skillet on medium until heated through.

  6. Before serving, stir in another 1/4-1/2 cup of sour cream. This adds a bit of zip and freshness and livens the recipe up.

Recipe Notes

I want to mention something about the mushrooms in this recipe. You can substitute a can of mushrooms for the fresh mushrooms, particularly if you're making this as a freezer meal, but please don't. Fresh mushrooms taste so much better in this recipe than canned does. Trust me on this!

Whenever I make this, I cook up a package of egg noodles and stir the stroganoff through the drained noodles. If I'm heating this in a skillet on the stovetop, I add the noodles into the skillet towards the end of cooking the mixture.

If I'm making this in the Crock-Pot, I stir the cooked egg noodles right into the Crock-Pot towards the end of the Beef Stroganoff cooking time.
