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.

The liquid doesn’t cover all the noodles. Will the steam help with the top noodles cook through?
Kelley Simmons
Hi Amanda!
That’s ok if the liquid doesn’t cover the noodles all the way the steam will soften them. I would also give it a stir once or twice to help move the noodles around.
Thanks and enjoy!

Emma

Kelley Simmons
Yah so happy you enjoyed this!!
Anita
Quick, simple and satisfying! I used 8 oz. baby bellas and added a cup of frozen peas with the meatballs and pasta. I didn’t have beef stock, so I added a packet of low sodium brown gravy with 2 cups of chicken bone broth and 2 cups of water. Fed myself and two big eaters with enough left over for a couple of lunches. Will make this again!
Monet Bozeman
This was sooo good! My family of 6 loved it! I doubled the recipe so we can all enjoy seconds as well! I did a couple of things differently but it came out pretty good! I ran out of beef stock so I added some chicken broth and it actually made it taste a little more rich!

So happy to hear you enjoyed this! Thank you so much for sharing!
