Instant Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff

We’ve been making ground beef stroganoff for a long time, but I had never tried it out in my Instant Pot.  It turns out, it’s not hard at all and it’s just as tasty as ever.  While some recipes use stew meat or other cuts of beef, I prefer to use ground beef in my Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff, to save money on the meat.  It does add an extra step of browning and draining the beef, but it’s totally worth it.  You could, however, brown your ground beef up in bulk and store it in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to use it.  2 cups of cooked meat = one pound of raw ground beef.

When I do cook it, I always use my Easy Greasy Colander to drain the grease.  It’s great, because it has a bowl that fits the colander perfectly, to catch the grease.  I can let the grease cool and then scoop it out into the trash.  Otherwise, you could just use a low fat version of hamburger.

WHAT IS A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR SOUR CREAM?

Sometimes you forget to buy the sour cream for this ground beef stroganoff recipe and sometimes, you just don’t like sour cream and you’d like an alternative.  Either way, I’d like to offer you a couple of suggestions on how you can substitute for sour cream in your recipe, in case you need it.

1. Use yogurt.  Keep in mind that it is a little bit thinner, so you MAY want to thicken it by letting it sit in a bowl with cheesecloth to let some of the liquid filter out.  OR, you can thicken the yogurt with a little flour.
2. You could use milk or cream and just cook the liquid down a bit to thicken it.  I wouldn’t use a full cup, but maybe a 1/2 cup.
