one pan meatball stroganoff
This One Pan Meatball Stroganoff is comfort food at it’s finest. Tender meatballs tossed with egg noodles and mushrooms in a creamy, rich sauce. This is a dish your whole family will love!!
For this recipe I used frozen meatballs to keep this dinner super simple. If you prefer to use homemade meatballs you can use my Salisbury Steak Meatball Recipe or my Chicken Meatballs recipe! Just leave out the sauce ingredients, broil the meatballs and add them to the dish!
What you’ll need for Meatball Stroganoff
- Onion: Diced yellow onion packs in a ton of flavor! White or red onion would be perfect in this recipe as well. Use what you have on hand!
- Cremini mushrooms: Shitake, button, or a mushroom blend would also work just fine!
- Garlic: I use a whopping 4 garlic cloves. Feel free to throw in even more if you are a garlic lover like me.
- Beef stock: Adds nice savory umami to this dish. You can use vegetable stock or chicken stock if you don’t have any beef broth.
- Meatballs: You can substitute frozen turkey or chicken meatballs or make your own!
- Paprika: I use regular paprika but for a twist try smoked paprika. It’s delicious in stroganoff.
- Wide egg noodles: These are the typical noodle used for any stroganoff however any type of pasta will work. You can always use elbow, orecchiette, penne, or rigatoni.
- Sour cream: This is what makes this dish so rich and creamy! Creme fraiche or Greek yogurt are good substitutes if needed.
- Parsley: For garnish, if desired.
- Grated Parmesan Cheese: For serving!
How to make Meatball Stroganoff
- Heat the pan: Start by heating a large pot or pan over medium-high heat. Add in olive oil.
- Sauté mushrooms and onions: Add in the onions and mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the onion starts to get tender.
- Add garlic: Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Mix in more ingredients: Add in beef stock, frozen meatballs (no need to defrost), paprika, and egg noodles.
- Simmer: Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed, the noodles are tender and the meatballs are heated through.
- Sour Cream: Add in the sour cream and mix together until incorporated.
- Season, garnish, and serve! Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately with fresh chopped parsley and parmesan cheese!
tips for making meatball stroganoff
- Use frozen meatballs! They can be cooked straight in the sauce from frozen, and if you make your own this Meatball Stroganoff recipe will taste even better!

frequently asked questions
Can I use cream instead of sour cream in stroganoff?
Yes, you can! You can also substitute creme fraiche or Greek Yogurt if needed.
What is stroganoff sauce made of?
For this Meatballs Stroganoff recipe, I added onion, mushrooms, beef stock, paprika, and sour cream. It’s a really simple dish!
How do you thicken stroganoff sauce?
This meatball stroganoff sauce should thicken on its own, however, if it isn’t you can thicken it by making a cornstarch slurry made of cornstarch and a little water. Just mix the cornstarch and water together separately first and then stir it into the rest of the sauce. I start with one teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water.

I just kicked this meal for dinner and it was absolutely delicious and so simple to make!!!
Annie
This recipe was sooo goood. I second guessed it when I added the sour cream but after mixing it I knew it was going to be delicious. My 15 month old even loved it. Hubby is already asking when I’m going to make it again lol
Kelley Simmons
That makes me so happy!! Glad you and your family enjoyed this Annie!
Jean
A very quick tasty meal with so little cleanup. The only change I made is I left out the mushrooms. I will eat anything but those. Served with a side of broccoli. Thank you for such a delicious meal.
Kelley Simmons
Yah so glad you enjoyed this Jean! Thank you so much for sharing!
Kimberly
Have you tried this with Reames frozen egg noodles? I was going to try it, but wasn’t sure if I should attempt to do it in the same pot, or just cook them separately and add later
Kelley Simmons
Hi Kimberly!
I have not tried this with the Reames egg noodles. I would cook them separately just to be safe (they might have extra flour in them compared to the egg noodles and could possibly cause the sauce to be too thick or burn).
Hope this helps!

Marilyn
I made this and it’s delicious and incredibly easy. I did put a little bit of beef gravy I had leftover but other than that followed recipe and it’s definitely a hit here
Kelley Simmons
Yah so happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe Marilyn! Thank you so much for sharing!
Annette
This was really good and easy. I didn’t have sour cream, so I used a can of Libby’s country sausage gravy. Omg, it was awesome.
Kelley Simmons
So happy to hear this! Thanks so much for sharing Annette!
Kristen
Holy cow this was really good! One of our daughters has a beef allergy so I used turkey meatballs and chicken broth and even that was delicious! I also only had about half the needed sour cream so used cream cheese for remainder and I even used the wrong pasta noodles since I ran out of egg noodles and even with all the different ingredients this was so good and I’m sure is absolutely delicious with the original beef ingredients!
Kelley Simmons
I am so happy to hear you enjoyed this stroganoff Kristen! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback!
Rochelle
I just made this recipe for Sunday’s dinner. It was sooooo good. Nothing but compliments. I actually used impossible meatballs in place of beef meatballs and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Kelley Simmons
So happy to hear this Rochelle! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!
Teri
We loved this! I had a 26 oz bag of meatballs and 12 ounce package of Amish noodles. I used a can of beefy mushroom soup and beef stock concentrate with water. And upped sour cream. Will make again !!
Kelley Simmons
Yah that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much Teri!
Jason E.
Have you tried adding a packet of McCormicks stroganoff to the dish? Would you add more beef broth if so?
Kelley Simmons
Hi Jason!
No I have not. I would adjust the seasonings to taste is you do so (I don’t know if it’s a seasoning mix or more like a gravy) If it’s more of a gravy I would use more beef broth to thin it out as needed.
Thanks and enjoy!
