Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

BEEF – Though a traditional beef stroganoff uses high-quality cuts of beef like boneless ribeye, top sirloin, or sirloin tips, we’re sticking with inexpensive, but still delicious, ground beef. If you’d like to use a different type of beef, go for it! You may need to adjust the cooking time of your casserole depending on the thickness of your meat.

SAUCE – This sauce is rich and full of bold flavors from sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Then of course you have to account for the classic stroganoff veggies – mushrooms and onion. If you do not like Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute it with a low-sodium soy sauce or omit it altogether. Dijon mustard can also be omitted to suit your taste or substituted with spicy brown mustard or regular mustard.

In a 12 inch skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain of excess grease and set aside cooked burger.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, you can make beef stroganoff casserole up to one day in advance storing it tightly wrapped with plastic wrap or an air-tight lid in the refrigerator. I would suggest holding off on the breadcrumb mixture until you’re ready to bake.

How do I store leftovers?

This casserole makes for fantastic leftovers. Store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, reheating in the oven or microwave. Add a splash of water as needed to help loosen it up.

Serving Suggestions

Beef stroganoff casserole is filling all on its own, but you can never argue with some crunchy bread or a crisp side salad. I would also recommend some steamed veggies like broccoli, green beans, carrots, or asparagus on the side. Serve with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
