This Instant Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff has all the classic flavors and deliciousness of stovetop beef stroganoff. It’s incredibly simple to make and done in under 30 minutes. Your family is going to love it!
Beef Stroganoff might be one of my favorite childhood meals. Thankfully my love for it also rubbed off on my boys. Well, except for Parker, he likes the meat mixture, just doesn’t like plain rice which is what I typically serve it over. I’ve just learned to ignore Parker when he complains and know that it will be a slam dunk dinner with everyone but him. There is just something comforting about stroganoff and it always hits the spot.
This Instant Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff is adapted from the classic stove-top recipe that I grew up with. I know so many stroganoff recipes call for some kind of steak, but my mom always made it with ground beef and so have I. I always have ground beef in my freezer, so I know I can make this last minute when my dinner brain is at a loss for ideas.
Let’s quickly talk the can of cream of mushroom in this recipe. I know so many people are haters of canned soups, but I’m not and love the convenience of them (please don’t hate me). I tried this recipe without the cream of mushroom soup, and it was still good, but we all think it’s better with the soup added in. You can certainly make your own soup (just google a recipe) or you can do what I do and use store bought, I won’t judge you at all. You do you and I’ll do me😉.
How to make instant pot ground beef strogranoff:
- Sauté the ground beef. Turn Instant Pot to sauté and spray bottom of the pot with cooking spray. Add the ground beef and brown the meat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, season it with salt and pepper. Remove any excess grease.
- Add onion and garlic and sauté four about 1 minute.
- Add flour, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and noodles. Give it a good stir to combine.
- Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Do a natural release for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
Can I had mushrooms?
Yes of course you absolutely can. I know most stroganoff recipes call for mushrooms, but we are just not a household that loves mushrooms. If you want to add them, use about 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and add them in with the onion and garlic.
Tips for storing and reheating:
- Storing: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the microwave (I do 50% power) or on the stovetop (on low) with a splash of water, milk, or broth to moisten things back up and keep it from drying out.
This is one of the easiest meals ever and is sure to be a winner with everyone! Stroganoff is definitely a family-friendly, total comfort food kind of meal. Enjoy!

Can I just put all these ingredients in a skillet and cook on the stove? Isn’t that what your Mom would have done? I don’t have an instant pot.
Hi Evelyn! I haven’t made this on the stovetop, but I’m guessing you could. I would brown the ground beef in a large skillet and add the onion, garlic and seasonings. Then add the ingredients as listed and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, put a lid on it and let it simmer until the noodles are cooked. Then stir in the sour cream. Let me know if you give it a try.
Yes, you can. I have made this same recipe on the stove before.
I made this tonight for dinner and it is delicious!! Our whole family loved it! So easy too!! Thank you for another terrific recipe!! 🙂

Thanks Brittany! I’m so glad you love this! Thank you for the nice comment.
I was always told to never stir/mix anything dairy in an IP because it will give a burn notice. I followed the directions anyway and ended up with a burn notice.
You should stir everything in but the cream of mushroom soup, layer that on top and then cook.
I’ve made this over and over Tarah and never had the burn notice on my Instant Pot. In fact, I have never had the burn notice with anything I’ve ever made in my instant pot. Not sure why you did with this recipe but, hopefully it still turned out and tasted good.
Can you make this in a crockpot?
Hi Cynthia! I haven’t made this recipe in my slow cooker, and I’m sure you could, but you would have to make adjustments to the amount of broth because you wouldn’t need that much liquid for a slow cooker. I would also not put the noodles in the whole time and maybe even cook them on the stovetop and add them in at the end, or just put cooked noodles on a plate and serve the meat mixture on top of the noodles. Your best bet might be to search online specifically for a slow cooker beef stroganoff recipe. Let me know if you end up trying it.
I have never gotten the burn food alert on my instant pot, but I did when I tried this recipe. I tried adding more beef broth to scrape the bottom again, but I got a burn food alert again! This recipe is a total flop…thank goodness I had another pack of ground beef I could use to make a hamburger steak for dinner
Kim, I’m sorry this didn’t work for you and I’m sorry that you think this recipe is a flop. I have to disagree with you though because I have made this multiple times and I have never gotten the burn notice. My boys devour this every time I make it and rave about how much they love it. I have also had several friends and family make this and they have never had a problem with it and they love it. Again, I’m sorry things went wrong for you when you made it.
Your recipe was good and not sure how a couple ppl burned it lmao

Thanks Tyler!
Kim I’ve read on other recipes just to put all the ingredients in and not to stir it and to not make the liquid like one thick consistency and I do not get the burn notice.
Quick and easy meal that the whole family loved!
★★★★★
Thanks Melinda! So happy your family loved this!
I’ve made this three or four times now and absolutely love it! I add a package of chopped up mushrooms, lay the noodles on top and cover them with the cream of mushroom soup but don’t stir. It is one of my favorite dishes and for my family as well. Love love love!

Hi Robyn! I’m so happy you love this! Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks Heather!
Made it for work as a special for my residents. They loved it. Asked me to make it for them again next week.
★★★★★
Thanks Jenny! So happy to hear it was a hit!
On the agenda for dinner tomorrow. Sounds amazing and very easy to prepare.

Thank you!
I never comment on anything, but felt the need to leave one for this recipe. I have this page bookmarked and make this dish at least once every other week. I’ve been doing this for months. This is one of very few recipes that always turns out perfectly and my entire family (including a VERY picky 10 year old) will eat and enjoy! I make mine exactly as the recipe states. The only difference is sometimes I’ll throw in an envelope of beefy onion soup if I happen to think about it before sealing the Instant Pot. Thank you so much for this quick, easy, family-pleasing recipe!

Heather, thank you so much for your comment! I am so happy you love this dish! We love it too and agree that it turns out perfectly every time! Thank you for taking the time to let me know how much you and your family love this.
What adjustments would you suggest if I have to cook the noodle separately? (I have celiac but my boys and husband do not)
Hi Jen, I’ve never cooked the noodles separately, but if I was going to I would probably just follow the directions and leave the noodles out. After you’ve cooked the noodles separately, you can serve it by plating up noodles for your boys and husband and spoon some of the meat mixture over them or scoop out some meat mixture for you and then stir the cooked noodles into the remaining meat mixture.
Made this last night, it was quick and easy and turned out great.
The no touch cook time in the Instant Pot allowed me to have a clean kitchen before we even ate. I wanted to avoid the burn warning, so opted to stir before putting in the noodles and then just pat the noodles down as far as I could into the liquids.
I don’t know how people are saying this is a flop or got a burn notice on their instant pot. I did everything just as said, with frozen homemade cream of mushroom soup I had in the freezer! I just added some more garlic and onion powder to it at the end and it cooked fine and tastes great! I love how quick and easy it is and I had all the ingredients in the house already 🙂

Thanks Jenny! I’m sure it was so delicious with homemade cream of mushroom soup!
