This hearty casserole brings together the classic flavors of beef stroganoff with the added comfort of gooey cheese and perfectly cooked pasta. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing dish that’s ready in under an hour!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups (475 ml) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups (200 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups (300 g) uncooked pasta (egg noodles or penne work great)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Directions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
- Make the Stroganoff Sauce:
- Stir in the beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine and Assemble:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Stir the cooked pasta into the beef mixture until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Add the Cheese and Bake:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika to the sauce.
- If you like a crunchy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with a bit of butter before baking.
- Swap the cheddar for Gruyère or Swiss for a richer taste.
Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
