Aw Chef, this was a nostalgic video for me. When my mom had to travel abroad for her dad's funeral, MY dad took care of my brother and I by himself for the first time. And among the many mishaps during those several weeks there were a few instances of burned hamburger helper. Bless his heart. He passed away last month and I miss him so much. I also love beef stroganoff, so I think I need to try this out soon. For me, and dear old dad: Bob ❤️

@ A M, I’m truly sorry for your loss of your dad. This reminds me of years ago when my husband’s uncle would visit us every Wednesday evening. He never wanted anything else but beef stroganoff. Back then I made it with beef tips. And not this exact recipe, but pretty close. I haven’t thought about that in years. But it was such a small token to make an old man so happy. I’m glad I could do that for him.

Watching and listening to Chef John's recipe always made me feel like the world is not actually that bad. Always brought a little smile. Thanks, Chef.

One can substitute sliced potatoes for the noodles and reduce the amount of liquid a bit - I use two cups total of broth. I also make a roux with the broth separately and add it to mix when with the potatoes go in. Simmer until the potatoes are the firmness you like, stir in sour cream and serve. I've been making that recipe for close to 50 years.

So how was it? Any good?

Not only did I eat Hamburger Helper pretty often as a kid, I also ate it regularly as a young adult when I moved into my first apartment! I even bought a 2qt microwaveable casserole for that purpose; it didn't shorten the cooking time at all, but it was less messy than preparing HH on the stove top.

I love how you explain all the details and the parts that might seem like something went wrong.

The way you show us to cook the pasta in the sauce rather than in boiling water, as in the recipe for orecchiette and sausage, puts these dishes in another category! My family and guest adore it! The pasta absorbs whichever herb or aromatic you’re using and I feel confident to be creative. Always a huge hit and now I’m asked for’to go bags’ as my husband bragged how much more the flavors develop by day 2 & 3!

This is ultimate comfort food! 😊 It’s also great seasoned like Swedish meatballs (parsley, pepper, nutmeg, onion, sweet cream).

A Chef John Fred Biletnikoff reference is the best thing to happen to the Raiders this season D:

I made this and it was easy and DELICIOUS. I love stroganoff, but it takes a lot of time to make so sadly is not usually a week-day meal. This recipe was a gamechanger, however. And the next week, I did pretty much the same thing but made a one-pan chicken paprikash. These were the changes I made: swapped the beef broth with chicken broth; deboned chicken thighs instead of beef; skipped the garlic, mushrooms, and vodka; added 1 tablespoon of paprika. Chef John inspires me to do real good food, real simple! ^_^

Well, today I was thinking "WHAT am I going to make for dinner that's easy?" And of course, Chef John to the rescue! Made this tonight exactly as directed and it came out GREAT! Thanks, Chef John! This will DEFINITELY be in the regular rotation!

I made this for dinner tonight! It was outstanding! My daughter Sophia and I make sure to watch your videos every day before she goes to bed! Thank you for the recipe and thanks for being part of our nightly routine!

I've been making ground beef stroganoff for a while now, and this looks like a great shortcut to get it all in one pan. Always hated having to cook the noodles separate. However, I would absolutely add some Worcestershire sauce!

I make this often. My secret ingredient is dijon mustard, rather than vodka. Yum!

Nicely done John, looks amazing! From the midwest here and around my neck of the woods this was what we called Stroganoff. I honestly didn't know there was another classic version until I was almost 30. Typically I add thyme in with the meat mix and Worcestershire sauce and/or balsamic vinegar into the sauce near the end for a little acidity. Quite good either way!

Growing up, Hamburger Helper stroganoff was one of my favorite foods (ok, it still is, but now days you gotta get the "Deluxe" box). I remember back when it came with the separate powered sour cream stuff that you mixed and added at the very end. But, HH introduced me to stroganoff in general and I think I've only ever had one recipe for it that I didn't love. So, happy to add this one to my arsenal of stroganoff recipes!

I learned hot to make hamburger stroganoff from a woman on a ranch. She used bacon ends and cooked the mushrooms, onions, and hamburger in bacon grease. Oh yeah :) Happy cooking everyone!

Could other spirits be used instead of vodka? Whiskey?

This was such a helpful recipe. It certainly helped me remember my childhood dinner table. It is a huge help when it comes to helping me decide what is for dinner on those nights I need just a little help in the kitchen. Thank you for being so helpful.

I had 2 cans of Costco canned roast beef I wanted to use up, so went with those instead of ground beef. Added more mushrooms and used a 12oz box of bow tie pasta (more broth needed, of course). Omitted cayenne (wife too Scandinavian for that). Made it for my family and my parents, everyone loved it. A great recipe to add to the binder, tasted even better than what Hamburger Helper USED to taste like (chalky and inedible now). Thanks Chef John! Super good.

We made this today and it’s sooo good! Adding to our list of regulars. Thank you!

My mom couldn’t help hamburger even with the box. She did a decent job with the Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup version of hamburger stroganoff though. My kids are unknowingly spoiled since I’ve helped hamburger from scratch for years now. Thank you for this lovely tie-in recipe :) 🤌🏻

Stroganoff Hamburger Helper was going through my mind as I watched the video. I would always add Mushroom and Sour Cream to mine.

One of my all time favorite comfort foods! Now I know what I’m going to do with the ground beef in my freezer this week.

I love this one-pan beef stroganoff recipe!💕 Looks delicious😋 and so easy! Thanks Chef John!🌟

Oh my gosh! This was exactly what I was hoping this recipe would be when I saw your teaser yesterday!! I can’t wait to make it! Thank you!!

I love this recipe! Easy to make, simple ingredients, and one pan cleaning! Just need the beef, beef broth, and sour cream but definitely will be making this soon. Thanks, Chef John!

Thank you for making this recipe and video!

chef, i would love a playlist of one pot meals. cant wait to try this.

A recipie for traditional beef stroganoff, I occasionally make from my aunt included cognac instead of vodka.

The perfect comfort food supper for cold January evenings 👌. Thanks, Chef John!

Nice!! Love the one-pan wonders... more of them please

I've been making my own version of this for years. I usually add broccoli. It's such a nice comfort food.😊

Paprika is a great addition to this. As is diced bacon, which is in the classic Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. (which also uses cream of mushroom soup as well)

I only had recently ground black pepper but it still turned out great.

Chef John, I just made this for my family, and they LOVE it! The pan is scraped clean. Lol So I can definitely say that we Enjoyed!! 😁 Thank you for another wonderful and easy recipe. YUM!!

This is a family favorite around here. We serve it with ketchup and horseradish as optional condiments. SO yummy especially at this time of year. Thanks Chef John.

Adding frozen peas in the last 2-3 minutes when simmering is very good in this dish, plus you get the health benefits, vitamins, etc...

Yay! This was one of those weeknight meals in our house when I was growing up. On the weekend mom would break out the steak and mushrooms instead of Hamburger Helper. Happy New Year Chef John 🎊🥂

I've used this method for sometime now. I feel validated now that the Chef of Chefs has recognized it

The potato masher is the best ground beef breaking up tool. It has changed my life.

Some years ago, I used canned roast beef and evaporated milk for Hamburger Helper. AWESOME!

Just made this recipe for my son & his fiance this evening. It was a HIT! Thank you. :)

I made something like this from leftover ham gravy. The gravy was sweet and savory and I added some cayenne for that sweet and spicy flavor. It was like sweet hamburger helper and it was amazing.

SO PRETTY DISH. CHEF IS PROFESSIONALLY MASTER.

Those catch all recipes always turn out great

I ate HH so much growing up, at least once a week. And probably half the dinners, if not more, involve ground beef in some way, shape, or form. In fact, to this day, it is one of the few meats that I will eat, simply because that's what I got used to.

This tasted delicious, John. Lovely recipe!

I had ground beef and mushrooms in my fridge, bought the other ingredients on my way home. It was DELICIOUS! Thank you chef John. Not all heroes wear capes.

More one pot dishes pls & thank you 🙏🏾☺️

Hey there Chef John. Huge fan here... I just made this for the second time and I must say I agree with you. I love classic beef stroganoff but as of tonight. this one pan treat is my favorite. It was so easy to make and everyone loved it. For everyone out there that is reluctant to try it I say give it a chance and get ready to be amazed.

Love beef stroganoff, even better if it's a one-pan recipe! This is a keeper. Thanks!

I live on the road so, one pan cooking is the norm for me, looking forward to trying this.

Same dish without the mushrooms (or vodka, believe it or not) is called navy noodles where I'm from, and it's a fantastic weeknight meal!

I made this for dinner the other night. It was delicious and will be a repeat.
