Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 tablespoons butter: Adds richness and flavor. You can substitute with olive oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic: Fresh garlic enhances the aroma and taste. For a mild flavor, add garlic powder instead.
  • ½ cup chopped onion: Provides a sweet, savory base. Yellow or white onions work best, but shallots are a nice alternative.
  • 16 ounces sliced baby bella mushrooms: These mushrooms give a robust flavor. Feel free to mix in other varieties like cremini or portobello.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves: Adds an aromatic herbiness. If you have fresh thyme, use it for a fresher flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder: Boosts the onion flavor without the texture. You can omit this if you prefer a simpler taste.
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt: Salts with garlic flavor ensure the dish is well-seasoned. Adjust according to your salt preference.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper: Adds a gentle heat. Use freshly cracked pepper for more intense flavor.
  • ¾ cup dry white wine: The acidity balances the creaminess. If you prefer non-alcoholic, use vegetable broth instead.
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Thickens the sauce. For a gluten-free version, substitute with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce: Adds depth with its umami profile. For a vegan option, look for a vegan-friendly Worcestershire sauce.
  • 1 cup vegetable broth: Keeps the dish moist and flavorful. You could use mushroom broth for an extra earthy taste.
  • ¼ cup sour cream: Adds creaminess and tang. Greek yogurt can work as a lower-fat alternative.
  • 4 ounces egg noodles, cooked and drained: These noodles hold the sauce beautifully. Feel free to swap with gluten-free pasta or spiralized veggies for a lighter option.

How to Make Mushroom Stroganoff

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic and ½ cup of chopped onion. Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until the onion softens and turns translucent.

  2. Add the Mushrooms: Toss in 16 ounces of sliced baby bella mushrooms, stirring everything together. Let the mixture cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.

  3. Season the Mix: Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 2 teaspoons of garlic salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine, letting the spices coat the mushrooms.

  4. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in ¾ cup of dry white wine while stirring. Allow this mixture to come to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and gently boil for about 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and the mushrooms are soaked in flavor.

  5. Create the Sauce Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 cup of vegetable broth until smooth. Slowly add this mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine everything well.

  6. Thicken the Sauce: Bring the mixture back to a gentle bubble, then lower the heat. Allow it to simmer for around 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens nicely.

  7. Finish with Creaminess: Whisk in ¼ cup of sour cream, continuing to heat until everything is warmed through. Stir in the 4 ounces of cooked egg noodles, ensuring each noodle is well coated in that creamy mushroom goodness. Heat through for another couple of minutes before serving.

Storing & Reheating

To store Mushroom Stroganoff, let it cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. If you’d like to freeze it, portion it into airtight freezer bags and ensure you squeeze out excess air. It will last up to 3 months in the freezer. When ready to enjoy leftovers, reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of vegetable broth or water to maintain creaminess. Be aware that the texture may change slightly upon reheating, but a quick stir helps refresh the dish!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking the mushrooms; this ensures they sauté rather than steam, lending better flavor.
  • If you’re not a fan of sour cream, consider blending in a little cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a slightly different tang.
  • For a deeper flavor, sauté mushrooms until they’re a nice golden brown before adding the wine.
  • Use low-sodium broth to control the salt level, especially if you’re sensitive to sodium.
  • Make it a complete meal by tossing in some cooked peas or spinach just before serving.

Mushroom Stroganoff beautifully melds flavors in a way that makes this dish truly comforting and inviting. The creamy sauce, rich with umami from the mushrooms and seasonings, clings to the egg noodles, providing a mouthwatering experience you’ll crave time and again. Feel free to experiment with herbs or even add some meat if you like; the possibilities are endless. I’d love for you to make it and see how it can easily become a go-to favorite.
