Poor Man’s Beef—so creamy, you’d never know it’s a pantry saver!
By McKayla Davis
This is my go-to recipe for Poor Man’s Beef Stroganoff, a comforting dish that’s perfect for a cozy family dinner. I whip this up on a chilly night when I want something hearty but don’t have the time or budget for the classic version. It’s a dish filled with memories of my childhood when my mom would make it for us after a long day. What I love most about this recipe is how approachable it is—you can elevate everyday ingredients into something truly special. It’s a quick, delicious answer to the age-old question, ‘What’s for dinner?’
This stroganoff pairs wonderfully with a side of buttered egg noodles or fluffy rice. You could also serve it over mashed potatoes if you’re in the mood for something extra hearty. A simple green salad or steamed broccoli makes a fantastic side to add a fresh contrast to the creamy beef. Don’t forget some bread or rolls to mop up every bit of that luscious sauce.
