Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet or sauté pan, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid), and beef broth. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the meat mixture simmers, cook the wide egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the sour cream and cream cheese into the meat mixture until fully combined and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently fold in the cooked egg noodles until evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the stroganoff mixture to a large baking dish if serving immediately, or into freezer-safe containers if preparing for later (OAMC).
If serving immediately: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
If freezing for later: Allow the dish to cool completely before sealing and freezing. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight, then bake as directed above.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
