Ground Beef Stroganoff – Low Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, THM S
I don’t know about you, but ages ago, I tried the boxed stroganoff, and it majorly lacked in the flavor department. Nowadays, I have learned that if I want something that is easy to make, tastes great, and I know what ingredients are in it, I need to make it myself. The boxed food aisle in the store is the last place I want to hang out!
I know that I can manage to make a large batch or small batch of this ground beef stroganoff depending on who I am feeding, and it turns out perfect every time. When I feed the kids or my friends, they have no idea they’re eating something healthy, and I don’t advertise it that way. Serve the easy beef stroganoff with some cauliflower mash and keto breadsticks, and you’ll have a complete meal.
How To Make Ground Beef Stroganoff
First Step: Sautee the onion and garlic in heated butter and oil. Then add in the mushrooms and cook until they are tender.
Second Step: After the mushrooms have been tenderized, remove everything from the skillet, and set aside.
Third Step: Brown the ground beef in the same skillet.
Fourth Step: While hamburger is browning, prepare the gravy mixture. Mix together broth, salt, Worcestershire, xanthan gum, sour cream, and heavy cream using a whisk.
Fifth Step: Once the ground beef has browned up, add the sauce to the pan with the meat. Allow it to cook and thicken for around 5 minutes. Add the mushroom mixture to the pan and give it a quick stir. Serve warm with your favorite low carb noodles and enjoy!
How Can I Make Ground Beef Stroganoff Without Cream of Mushroom Soup
Cream of mushroom soup may be in many beef stroganoff recipes but you definitely don’t need it. Your stroganoff will be much tastier (and healthier) when you use fresh ingredients. A simple combination of sauteed onions, garlic, and mushrooms with cream and sour cream mimics that cream of mushroom soup flavor.

Can I Use A Different Kind Of Meat Instead Of Ground Beef?
Yes, you can use different meat if you aren’t a fan of ground beef or don’t have any on hand. Ground turkey, ground pork, and ground chicken would all be great options. Just remember if you do change out the meat, that the flavor is going to change some too. This is normal, and it will still be delicious, just a little different than the original recipe. Or sub in sliced beef, like London broil, for the ground meat.
Can You Make This Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe Ahead?
Yes, you can absolutely make this easy beef stroganoff recipe ahead. Just follow the directions and allow it to cool. Once it’s cooled, then place the beef stroganoff in an airtight container and place it in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, simply heat it up and enjoy it. It’s that easy and makes a fantastic lunch or leftover dinner idea.
Is Beef Stroganoff Healthy?
Yes, this ground beef stroganoff is healthy. You will find many variations out there, and they aren’t healthy at all. I wanted to break down some of the nutrients you get with this one-pot dinner idea.
- Ground Beef – You may be surprised to know that there are many vitamins and minerals in ground beef such as vitamin B6, iron, selenium, phosphorus, and vitamin B12. Especially if you buy quality beef like that from ButcherBox.
- Mushrooms – Fiber, copper, zinc, folate, potassium, and magnesium are just a few of the nutrients found in mushrooms.
- Onions – You’ll be happy to know that onions are nutrient-rich and are a great addition to many recipes. They are full of calcium, vitamin C, fiber, protein, iron, folic acid, and quercetin, which is an antioxidant.
- Sour Cream – There is potassium, protein, vitamin A, calcium, vitamin B12, and riboflavin in each helping of sour cream you eat.
As with all recipes, you should eat in moderation. So, rest easy that you can make this ground beef stroganoff and feel good about feeding it to your family. They will be getting much-needed nutrients from it.
How Do You Reheat Ground Beef Stroganoff?
You can reheat ground beef stroganoff easily! Simply place the stroganoff in a microwave-safe container and heat it for a minute or two until it’s hot. Or, you can place it back in a skillet and heat it on medium-high heat until it’s warm all the way through. Then serve.
Can I Freeze Ground Beef Stroganoff?
Yes, technically, you can freeze this ground beef stroganoff recipe if you want to. Just keep in mind that when you heat it back up, you may notice some separation from the sour cream and heavy cream. This is entirely normal and is edible; it just doesn’t look as appealing as it would when it’s made fresh.
How should I serve Ground Beef Stroganoff?
I served my beef stroganoff on top of Palmini Noodles. These are low carb and made out of hearts of palm. Pasta made from hearts of palm is my favorite low carb noodle. You can also serve it on top of mashed cauliflower, shirataki noodles, cauliflower rice, or just in a bowl.
