This One Pot Beef Stroganoff is one of my most viral one-pot pasta recipes of all time — and after remaking it, I’m reminded exactly why. When you make one-pot pasta recipes, something magical happens: the pasta cooks directly in the sauce, soaking up all that flavor as it simmers, while the natural starch from the noodles helps create a silky, restaurant-style creaminess. If you love easy one-pot meals like this, make sure to check out my One Pot Creamy Pink Pasta, One Pot Creamy Chicken Pasta, and my cozy Italian Pastina Soup — they’re all reader favorites and perfect examples of just how good one-pot cooking can be.

This recipe was originally posted in 2022 and quickly became one of my most popular dinners ever. I recently recreated the video, made a few small tweaks, and instantly remembered why this one never fails. It’s extra creamy thanks to a simple flour step, unbelievably comforting, and everything — yes, even the egg noodles — cooks right in one pot.

FAQ

Can I make this One Pot Beef Stroganoff without wine?

Yes! If you prefer not to cook with wine, simply replace it with an equal amount of beef broth. You’ll still get great flavor, though the wine does add a subtle depth and acidity that balances the creaminess.

Can I use a different type of pasta instead of egg noodles?

Egg noodles work best for classic stroganoff texture, but you can substitute short pastas like rotini, penne, or fusilli. Keep in mind that cooking times and liquid absorption may vary slightly, so adjust the simmer time and add a splash of broth if needed.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 16 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • Black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup onion finely diced (any onion works — I used red onion)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces white wine about ½ of a mini bottle
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 10 –12 ounces egg noodles
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • Green onions sliced (for topping)
  • Extra sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the mushrooms

  • Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and season with black pepper only. Cook for several minutes until the mushrooms soften and release their liquid.
  • If there’s excess liquid in the pan, lightly wipe it out before moving on — this helps keep the sauce rich instead of watery.

Add onion and garlic

  • Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for a few minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Season well with salt and pepper, making sure to season in layers.

Brown the beef

  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and incorporated with the mushrooms and onions. If there’s excess grease, remove a little — but leave some behind for flavor and to help the flour cook properly.

Add the flour

  • Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about 2 minutes over medium to medium-high heat. This step cooks out the raw flour taste and creates the base for a creamy sauce.

Deglaze with wine

  • Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it cook for a few minutes until slightly reduced and the alcohol cooks off.
  • Tip: Mini bottles of wine are perfect for cooking if you don’t want to open a full bottle.

Add broth, water & noodles

  • Add the beef broth and water. Season again with salt and pepper, then bring everything to a full boil.
  • Stir in the egg noodles, cover with a lid, and reduce to a low simmer. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Simmer uncovered

  • Remove the lid, increase the heat slightly, and continue cooking uncovered for another 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the noodles fully cooked and the sauce reduced, but still slightly saucy — not dry.

Finish with sour cream

  • Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. The sauce will become rich, creamy, and glossy.
