Instant Pot Hamburger Stroganoff is a delicious, money saving variation of the favorite Beef Stroganoff. With a rich flavor from simple ingredients, no ‘cream of’ soup is needed. This pressure cooker ground beef stroganoff will become a family favorite!

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 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
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Yellow Onion, diced
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef (or ground turkey, 93% lean)
- ½ teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 ½ Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 10 oz Mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups Beef Broth
- 2 teaspoons Beef Bouillon I use Better Than Bouillon®
- 8 oz Wide Egg Noodles
To Finish
- 3 Tablespoons Flour
- 3 Tablespoons Cold Water
- 1 cup Sour Cream (plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ cup Fresh Parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- 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 and beef bouillon 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.

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.
Sorry to hear that, Robin. I’m glad it tasted good! I agree that more broth will help.
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!
Awesome! Thank you for your review!
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!
I’m glad it worked for you, Michelle! Thank you for your review!
Only 8oz of egg noodles???
Yes, by weight.
I really would like to make this but 8 oz of egg noodles seems too little amount, are you sure just 8 oz??
8 oz weighed is enough. You can use more if you want.
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.
Hi Susan, I’m glad you liked it! Thank you for your review!
I have an 8 qt Instant Pot, any changes to the recipe that you recommend?
Hi Samantha, maybe add 1/2 cup more beef broth. It should work fine.
i made this and it was excellent!
Awesome! Thank you for your review!
Can I double this recipe? 6 cups of broth?
Hi Lori, yes, you can add more broth. And noodles, if they don’t go over the 2/3 full line.
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.
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.
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!
Love yer idea of a food scale for no error.
What brand is good ?
