Instant Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff is so Super Easy, You’ll Wonder Why It’s Not on Your Meal Plan Every Week!  Since it’s Made with Ground Beef, it’s not too expensive either.

We love using the Instant Pot for dinner and think you’ll love the Instant Pot Enchilada Pasta along with all of these other Instant Pot Ground Beef recipes!

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.

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic.
  • Drain ground beef (if needed)
  • Stir in flour, then add broth, cream of mushroom soup and salt & pepper.
  • Mix well, then add noodles.  Make sure noodles are pushed down into the liquid.
  • Place lid on Instant Pot, close the valve and set on high pressure for 8 minutes.

If you forget to release the pressure after 5 minutes, your noodles will be overcooked.   Be sure to set a timer to remind yourself.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
