One-Pot Beef Stroganoff
This one pot beef stroganoff is made straight in a Dutch oven, meaning minimal mess and more time for the important stuff in life!
Welcome back to Moments With Lisa, foodie friends! It’s been a while since I last posted, but I am thrilled to be back in action, doing what I love most: food blogging!
For the past month, I’ve been hooked on one-pot meals. My main motivation behind this shift is to maximize my post-work hours for quality family time. Instead of being tied down in the kitchen before and after dinner, one-pot meals have become my go-to solution.
Why Beef Stroganoff and What Is It?
I must admit, beef stroganoff wasn’t always my “go-to” for weeknight dinners. When my husband requested it, however, I saw an opportunity to reinvent it as a convenient one-pot meal. I thought, ‘Why not combine the flavors we love into a simpler, time-saving dish?
Beef Stroganoff is a dish that is traditionally made with sautéed strips of beef, onions, and mushrooms in a rich sour cream sauce. This hearty and flavorful dish is typically served over egg noodles or rice, making it a comfort meal perfect for any occasion!
My version uses ground beef and is made directly in my Dutch oven… and nothing else!
What is a Dutch oven?
A Dutch oven is a versatile and durable cooking pot with thick walls and a tight-fitting lid, usually made of cast iron or ceramic. I use this one from Le Creuset (so it’s also often referred to as a French oven). These cooking appliances are ideal for slow cooking, braising, baking, and roasting, which is why it is such an important staple in many kitchens. Dutch ovens distribute heat evenly and retain it effectively, allowing for tender and flavorful dishes to be prepared with ease.
What is a One-Pot Meal?
A one-pot meal is a convenient and time-saving cooking method where all the ingredients for a complete dish are cooked together in a single pot or pan. This approach minimizes cleanup and simplifies the cooking process, making it ideal for busy individuals or families looking for quick and easy meal options without sacrificing flavor.
