Instant Pot Hamburger Stroganoff
Talk about comfort food! Pasta has to be one of the top favorites for me. The creamier, the better! If I can make the meal for less money, that’s a win! Traditional Beef Stroganoff is made with beef tenderloin. It is amazing, however, it is also pretty expensive, especially when you are making a family-sized batch.
Using hamburger, ground beef, ground turkey, will save you some money, and it’s easier to make this Instant Pot Hamburger Stroganoff into a one-pot dish. The ground beef will cook up faster and easier when you give it a browning first, and then leave it in when you add the pasta. No draining!
I love Beef Stroganoff made with the tenderloin, or even a Flat Iron, Ribeye, or other cut of beef. But something about this hamburger version just works! It’s especially good for little ones who maybe don’t like chewier pieces of beef.
If you don’t want to use sour cream, you can substitute Greek yogurt and still get the creamy consistency and tangy flavor.
I hope you give it a try! Let me know in the comments if you make this, and how you liked it! Follow me on Pinterest for all of my recipes, and other great ideas for your Instant Pot!

Instant Pot Hamburger Stroganoff is a delicious, money saving variation of the favorite Beef Stroganoff. With a rich flavor, no 'cream of' soup needed, this pressure cooker stroganoff will become a family favorite!
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Yellow Onion, diced
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef (or ground turkey, 93% lean)
- 1/2 tsp Thyme, dried
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 10 oz Mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups Beef Broth
- 8 oz Wide Egg Noodles
- 3 Tbsp Flour
- 3 Tbsp Cold Water
- 1 cup Sour Cream (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
-
Turn on Sauté setting. When pot is hot, add the oil, butter, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to turn translucent.
-
Add the ground beef and stir, breaking up the meat, but leaving a few larger chunks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just a little pink remains.
-
Add the thyme, salt, pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
-
Add the mushrooms and mix well. Cook for another minute.
-
Pour the broth in while stirring, and scraping the bottom of the pot to get up any brown bits (deglaze).
-
Add the egg noodles and press them gently into the mixture to submerge them as much as possible.
-
Cancel the Sauté function. Then press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, and the +/- to select 4 minutes (5 minutes for softer noodles).
-
After the cook cycle has finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Then do a controlled Quick Release of the remaining pressure/steam.
-
When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid. Then turn on the sauté setting.
-
Mix together the flour and water. Add to the pot and stir well to combine. Turn off the pot.
-
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a little of the hot sauce from the pot. Then add a little more. This tempers the sour cream so it doesn't curdle when added to the hot stroganoff.
-
Add the sour cream and parsley to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate the ingredients. Taste and adjust salt, if needed.
-
Serve immediately, garnishing as desired.

This is easy & tastes great. My only issue is I found it a little watery but next time I’ll just eliminate a cup of broth. Easy fix for me. I’ts in my dinner rotation for sure. Thanks for sharing!!
Clare
This is easy to make. I am 13 years old and am hosting a dinner party with my mom, I am cooking. I love making this recipe and all my family and friends love it too, all except my picky sister but somtime she even eats it.
One question though I always make it with salted butter, is it ok to use unsalted butter because that is all they had at the store?
Sandy
Yes, absolutely!
Kiyo
I have an ultra mini, can I just halve all the ingredients?
Sandy
Yes, cook time stays the same.
Brenda
I don’t usually comment on blogs. I made this last night for supper and it was absolutely delicious!! So simple too. I thought that it looked like a lot if instructions, but it was pretty simple. Thank you so much.
Deborah Norton
What a delicious recipe. I added some cream cheese after sour cream and added some extra creaminess.
Barry Flickinger
Now that was an amazing stroganoff recipe. Thank you for sharing it.
Karen
Hi!
Can I substitute frozen riced cauliflower for the egg noodles? Trying to stay low carb ish
Sandy
Yes, I would reduce the liquid and add the cauliflower after pressure cooking.
Rachel
Made this tonight to break in our new (crock pot brand) pressure cooker. It was great!! We did the recipe exactly as listed and no “burn notice.” Will definitely make again. Thank you! It won’t let me click a star rating for some reason but 5 stars!
Dawn Pepper
Made this tonight – used six cups of broth and the whole 12 oz bag of noodles – it was fantastic and no burn notice 🙂
Jennifer V
I don’t usually comment on anything… I had 1lb of frozen ground beef 93%. I chopped up some onion, put two spoons of butter and a splash of EVOO. Saute for about 4 minutes added garlic powder, ground pepper. Still frozen dropped the beef, the noodles, can of mushroom. Added 1 can water to rinse the can, then added a second can of water w/ dissolved veggie broth. put the lid on, pushed the pressure cook/manual button, reduced the time to 15 min…. WOW this thing really does a good job!
Linda k
Thanks for the great recipe. It was really tasty and so easy to make. I didn’t change a thing and it turned out delicious
Philippa
Has this recipe changed recently? I don’t remember the flour and water mixture when I’ve made it previously.
This is a staple meal in our house and a definite favorite!
Sandy
The flour was always there (you can see it in the video). I changed it to be added at the end as people were getting the burn error.
Anita
Made tonight. Had closer to 1.5 pounds of hamburger and 10 oz left in my bag of egg noodles so upped the liquid to 5.5 cups of broth, added a little bit more garlic and used oregano instead of thyme, Turned out perfect. This is very similar to my stovetop version so I knew it would be good.
Stars won’t mark for me but I give it 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sue M
Made this tonight and was very hopeful. Followed the recipe exactly and it looked and smelled fantastic. I was so disappointed at the first bite – it was so incredibly bland. Edible, but not good. I double-checked the recipe to make sure I didn’t miss anything, but it sure seems like there’s something missing. I may try one more time, but add a packet of onion soup mix and cross my fingers.
Sandy
Hi Sue, This isn’t a boldly flavored dish, but it shouldn’t be bland, though that is subjective. Maybe use a little more salt, or some soy sauce?
Linda
I have been looking for a stroganoff recipe that does NOT use canned soups. I am excited to try this.
Anne
I made this tonight, starting with frozen ground beef. I’ve had bad experiences with noodles in the IP, but following your instructions they came out great! I went with the 4 minute time and they were soft, I wouldn’t want to do 5 minutes. I’m not a mushroom lover, so I left those out. I did add a little more than a TBSP of tomato paste just because I’m accustomed to that slightly pink stroganoff sauce (is that just me??). Oh, I noticed someone else’s questioning of the 8 oz noodles. I felt the same way so I used about 3/4 of a 16 oz bag. It came out really great- I think we ate too much of it! Yummy!
Sandy
That’s great, Anne! I’m glad you liked it!
Mr Edd
Learning to use my QVC multi cooker, Second recipe I tried! EXCELLENT! I screwed up and added broth before flour so just made a slurry of flour & water– Perfect! Used pappradelle pasta! WOW! Loving the pot so far!
Sandy
That’s great! So glad it worked for you!
Morgann
All I have is elbow macaroni – how would is adjust the recipe? I’m painfully new to this Instant Pot craze! 🙂
Sandy
I think you could use the same timing with elbows. I usually cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Use 1 cup of liquid per 4 oz of pasta.
Erin
Great Recipe. My family loves it. Got the burn notice but it was cooked when I released pressure. I’m thinking maybe the burn notice is because of the flour? Maybe we can add flour after pressure release?
Sandy
It could be. It seems that a small percent of people do get the burn message. You can add the flour after or use more liquid. Also make sure the pasta measurement is correct as more pasta will suck up the liquid!
Amy
We love this recipe, have made it several times! only thing is in my 6qt lux. It never comes to pressure.?? ?♀️ always turns out fine may have a bit stuck to the bottom, but it stirs right in.. I follow the recipe to the letter.. Any suggestions as to why it might not be coming to pressure?? Maybe I need to cut back on the flour??
Sandy
Thank you Amy! I would back off on the flour. I adjusted the recipe to reduce the amount of flour a few weeks ago, but maybe try it with 1 Tablespoon less.
Denise Graves
I just made this and it came out perfectly. Followed instructions exactly. Lots of delicious sauce and looks just like the picture.
Sandy
Yay!
Jen
I made this last night! It was a hit!! I used ground pork and mushroom broth because my husband is allergic to beef. I used lactose free Greek yogurt and I added some zucchini. So yummy. 🙂
Sandy
Sounds great! Thank you for your review!
Lesley
has anyone used a different kind of pasta? penne or the macaroni noodles? thanks.
Candace Vincent
Super yum- i haven’t shopped this week so i needed a recipe with stuff i had on hand, as a result i followed as is with exception of added 1can of cream of mush soup bc I didn’t have mushrooms and wanted that flavor, and I used elbow noodles bc I had them on hand- oh and had to use plain Greek yogurt bc i didn’t have enough sour cream lol
flavor and consistency was spot on!!
Pam
Delicious. Thanks for the recipe. I made a few changes to encompass what I had on hand and to add more veggies and accommodate for food allergies, LOL. Used cremini and shiitake mushrooms, added carrots and celery, used cashew milk instead of sour cream and used gluten free noodles. Worked great and tasted great.
SE
Is the purpose of the binder clip to secure the inner pot so it won’t rattle while stirring/sautéing? I am guessing that, but is there another reason?
Sandy
Yes, it stops the inner pot from spinning when you have a lot of stirring to do.
Angela
I never comment on recipe blogs but this was DELICIOUS. Adding it to our regular dinner rotation for sure! It’s only the 3rd thing I’ve ever made in my instant pot and it came out perfect. Thank you for an awesome recipe!
Sandy
That’s great, Angela! I’m very happy this was a success for you, especially being new to the IP! Thank you for your review!
Teresa
Made this last night and it was excellent! I have an 8 qt and I did get the dreaded burn message…but I released the pressure and checked it and it was done anyway (even though it never got up to pressure). I doubled it and it worked perfectly! The only other changes I made were to leave out the mushrooms and used more seasonings. Thank you so much!
Dawn
So, quick question, I’m new to instapot, when the cook time is done, do you turn the pot off for the 2muns resting?
Sandy
You can, just use a clock. You don’t have to though.
Becky
This was amazing! It is a keeper for sure on our recipe rotation. Thanks for sharing it!
Sandy
That’s great, Becky! Thank you!
DJ
Question, my daughter can not have EGG, so the egg noodles are a no. Any suggestions on another pasta and time adjustments? I was going to use mini shells. Thanks
Sandy
If your daughter can have egg whites, the No Yolks pasta is very good. Otherwise you will need to do a search for an egg free variety.
Tami
My only complaint was that the recipe didn’t make enough, otherwise I loved it! I didn’t have fresh mushrooms on hand. I had my husband pick up some and cooked them on sauté for about two minutes after it was done with the pressure cooking. I also used thicker noodles but did weigh them on a food scale. Because my noodles were thicker (and require a longer cook time) I increased the pressure cooking time to 13 minutes. The noodles were perfect! I have an 8 qt. pot and did not get the burn message. I normally don’t write reviews but this recipe was GREAT!!!
Debra
Delicious
Amanda
This is the 3rd thing I cooked in my IP. It turned out perfect and my hard to please family loved it! Thanks for the great recipe and I can’t wait to try more!
Sandy
That’s awesome, Amanda! I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for the review!
Katie Brown
Are you suppose to drain the fat from the ground beef after sautéing?
Sandy
Katie, if you use a lean ground beef you shouldn’t have to. If there is an excessive amount then yes.
Anna
Feeding a family of 5… we made this on Tuesday and they’ve been talking about it every day since, so we are making it again today (saturday). I usually doctor things up, but this recipe is perfect as is! Only change I made is that I used Greek yogurt because I assumed I had sour cream and didn’t check… oops! So PSA, greek yogurt works too if anyone is wondering!! This recipe is on the permanent list of YES!
Robin
Made this tonight and followed the recipe exactly, including weighing the noodles. Got the “burn” message. Finished it on saute and it tasted great. Next time I’ll add more broth.
Sandy
Sorry to hear that, Robin. I’m glad it tasted good! I agree that more broth will help.
Becky
I made this recipe for dinner last night and it was a huge hit! I doubled the recipe and thank goodness I did because everyone devoured it. Thanks so much!
Sandy
Awesome! Thank you for your review!
Michelle
Made for dinner tonight. I used ground turkey and added the entire package of noodles and increased the broth to 48 oz plus 1 cup of water and held my breath. Turned out perfect! I didn’t add any salt but next time I will. Sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top. Very yummy. Thanks for the recipe! Will make again for sure!
Sandy
I’m glad it worked for you, Michelle! Thank you for your review!
Tamara
Only 8oz of egg noodles???
Sandy
Yes, by weight.
Tamara
I really would like to make this but 8 oz of egg noodles seems too little amount, are you sure just 8 oz??
Sandy
8 oz weighed is enough. You can use more if you want.
Susan
This was my first instant pot recipe. And it was great. A couple things. My pot has high pressure and low pressure, I used low and went for 6 minutes. I used about 3/4 cup of condensed mushroom soup, 1 cup water or so and 2 cups beef broth. The consistency was perfect. Thanks.
Sandy
Hi Susan, I’m glad you liked it! Thank you for your review!
Samantha
I have an 8 qt Instant Pot, any changes to the recipe that you recommend?
Sandy
Hi Samantha, maybe add 1/2 cup more beef broth. It should work fine.
votemom
i made this and it was excellent!
Sandy
Awesome! Thank you for your review!
Lori stock
Can I double this recipe? 6 cups of broth?
Sandy
Hi Lori, yes, you can add more broth. And noodles, if they don’t go over the 2/3 full line.
James Daniel Jr.
I doubled it and accidentally went over the line. the cooker didnt pressurize as it should have (probably a safety feature) and it turned out soupy. I think 6 or 7 cups of broth may be spot on.
SueM
We made this tonight and it was delicious. Only problem was that I kept getting the burn message. I took everything out, scrubbed the bottom the pot, added 1/2 cup of water and tried again, got another burn message. I followed everything to the letter in the recipe, not sure why it kept burning. After the third time, I gave up and just served it as it was, everything was cooked and tasted great, the IP just didn’t ever get to pressure.
Sandy
Hi Sue, that darn Burn message! Sometimes I get it, and sometimes I don’t. I would say that for the next time you make this, try adding another 1/2 cup of water/broth and see if that helps. It is also important to make sure you have the correct amount of pasta. I use a food scale and weigh it when I make these recipes, and then try to put it into cups for you. Sometimes people have to use a different variety of pasta, and that can throw the ratio off. That’s when a food scale comes in very handy. Just a thought! I’m glad you liked this recipe, despite that Burn message!
Wendy mccammon
Love yer idea of a food scale for no error.
What brand is good ?
Sandy
Hi Wendy, I have a link on this page: https://www.simplyhappyfoodie.com/favorite-instant-pot-accessories/
Patty
Hi I got a Bella 10 in 1 pressure cooker /slow cooker and it is the most amazing pressure cooker ever and I don’t have a burn message ever and the inside pot is none stick and I think that’s why but I truely love cooking in it nothing ever cooks wrong in it so far
Sandy
That’s great, Patty. I’m happy to know you are having a positive experience with your Bella!
Robert
Same thing happened to me. Probably need to just plan on more liquid.
