- ½ medium onion, diced
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 2 c low sodium beef broth
- 6 oz dry rotini (half of a standard box)
- ½ cup sour cream
- Brown the meat, drain, set aside.
- In the same pan, heat a tbsp of olive oil (or use some of the leftover grease from the beef). Add onion and carrot and cook until onion is translucent.
- Add the garlic, cook for about 30 seconds, and then add the ground beef. Sprinkle the paprika over the top and stir to combine.
- Add the pasta and beef broth. Bring to a light boil, then cover the pot. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente (roughly 17-20 minutes). If the liquid cooks down before the pasta is done, add more water as necessary.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream.
Ok, ok, you caught me--it's not actually stroganoff, because there are no mushrooms. It's just that mushrooms are gross. But if you want proper stroganoff:
- Saute 8 oz sliced crimini mushrooms as step 1.5, and then remove them from the pan.
- Add them back in with the sour cream.
