Gourmet Hamburger Helper (One-Pan Beef Stroganoff) | Food Wishes

This ground beef stroganoff noodles recipe is an easy, shortcut version of classic beef stroganoff made in one-pan. This comfort classic was inspired by a certain packaged food invented to help hamburger. Enjoy!

Aw Chef, this was a nostalgic video for me. When my mom had to travel abroad for her dad's funeral, MY dad took care of my brother and I by himself for the first time. And among the many mishaps during those several weeks there were a few instances of burned hamburger helper. Bless his heart. He passed away last month and I miss him so much. I also love beef stroganoff, so I think I need to try this out soon. For me, and dear old dad: Bob ❤️

Watching and listening to Chef John's recipe always made me feel like the world is not actually that bad. Always brought a little smile. Thanks, Chef.

I make this often. My secret ingredient is dijon mustard, rather than vodka. Yum!

I sing along with Chef John everyone... And as always... Enjoy 😊

I made this for dinner tonight! It was outstanding! My daughter Sophia and I make sure to watch your videos every day before she goes to bed! Thank you for the recipe and thanks for being part of our nightly routine!

A Chef John Fred Biletnikoff reference is the best thing to happen to the Raiders this season D:

The way you show us to cook the pasta in the sauce rather than in boiling water, as in the recipe for orecchiette and sausage, puts these dishes in another category! My family and guest adore it! The pasta absorbs whichever herb or aromatic you’re using and I feel confident to be creative. Always a huge hit and now I’m asked for’to go bags’ as my husband bragged how much more the flavors develop by day 2 & 3!

I love how you explain all the details and the parts that might seem like something went wrong.

This is similar to the recipe I've been using, except I also add Worcestershire sauce and dijon/brown mustard. Delicious either way!

Making this tonight, I have all the ingredients already. I love how practical your recipes are...anyone can cook them.

I made this and it was easy and DELICIOUS. I love stroganoff, but it takes a lot of time to make so sadly is not usually a week-day meal. This recipe was a gamechanger, however. And the next week, I did pretty much the same thing but made a one-pan chicken paprikash. These were the changes I made: swapped the beef broth with chicken broth; deboned chicken thighs instead of beef; skipped the garlic, mushrooms, and vodka; added 1 tablespoon of paprika. Chef John inspires me to do real good food, real simple! ^_^

Not only did I eat Hamburger Helper pretty often as a kid, I also ate it regularly as a young adult when I moved into my first apartment! I even bought a 2qt microwaveable casserole for that purpose; it didn't shorten the cooking time at all, but it was less messy than preparing HH on the stove top.

I make this often and to me it isn’t stroganoff without a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, it really brings out the earthiness of the mushrooms!

[tomkitson]

Well, today I was thinking "WHAT am I going to make for dinner that's easy?" And of course, Chef John to the rescue! Made this tonight exactly as directed and it came out GREAT! Thanks, Chef John! This will DEFINITELY be in the regular rotation!

[blairwesterman]

I made this for my supper tonight.., followed recipe with the exception of adding some grated Parmigiano Reggiano…I just finished my second bowl, so tasty.
I’m gonna make this for my kids this weekend!
Thank you Chef. Cheers! 🇨🇦

This is ultimate comfort food! 😊 It’s also great seasoned like Swedish meatballs (parsley, pepper, nutmeg, onion, sweet cream).

The potato masher is the best ground beef breaking up tool. It has changed my life.

Growing up, Hamburger Helper stroganoff was one of my favorite foods (ok, it still is, but now days you gotta get the "Deluxe" box). I remember back when it came with the separate powered sour cream stuff that you mixed and added at the very end.
But, HH introduced me to stroganoff in general and I think I've only ever had one recipe for it that I didn't love. So, happy to add this one to my arsenal of stroganoff recipes!

[GeekWarrior]

I’m a fairly accomplished cook but I return this frequently out nostalgia. I made the box version in my early teens for my sister and I when my working parents weren’t home for dinner. Lead me down the path of learning to cook and get better and better at it. Tip: reconstitute some dried shiitake and use the soaking water instead of plain water. Discard the shiitake.

Nicely done John, looks amazing! From the midwest here and around my neck of the woods this was what we called Stroganoff. I honestly didn't know there was another classic version until I was almost 30. Typically I add thyme in with the meat mix and Worcestershire sauce and/or balsamic vinegar into the sauce near the end for a little acidity. Quite good either way!
