Ahh comforting Beef Stroganoff. Are you a fan? I sure am. Especially this time of year. After all, it’s comfort on a plate, friends.

So I Googled Beef Stroganoff to see where it came from. And come to find out, it originated in Russia, where it got its name from 19th century diplomat Count Paul Stroganov. Thank you, Count, for creating this amazingly rich and delicious dish that became your namesake.

I mean, don’t flavorful beef strips and mushrooms blanketed in a creamy, savory sauce and served atop a bed of egg noodles sound like the best thing ever since Season 2 of Stranger Things came out? And now that we’ve binge-watched our way through that, we can indulge and enjoy my Best Beef Stroganoff to keep us warm through the winter and while we wait another 12 long months for the next season. Now why do I call this recipe “Best Beef Stroganoff”? Because it is the best recipe for Beef Stroganoff in the galaxy. Simple as that. And that’s because I add a secret flavor booster to turn ordinary Stroganoff into amazingly extraordinary, stomach-grumbling-because-you-just-can’t-even Stroganoff. And since I’m horrible at keeping my recipe secrets because I’m just too excited to share them with you, I’ll tell you that secret ingredient is a packet of Italian dressing mix.

It is an AMAZING addition to the sauce. Like, I don’t think I could ever make a Stroganoff without it now. The flavor is just incredible! AND this Best Beef Stroganoff is ready in 15 minutes, so it’s perfect for busy weeknights!
