One of my favorite one-pot meals for a weeknight, Ground Beef Stroganoff, has a similar vibe and reminds me a bit of the hamburger gravy my grandmother made when I was a child. Mushrooms, ground beef, and a rich, creamy gravy over egg noodles just screams comfort food. This recipe is adapted from the classic stroganoff recipe that calls for cuts of beef like sirloin. Ground beef is economical and just as delicious as the other cuts called for in this dish.
