Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Stroganoff Casserole

Pressure cooker stroganoff casserole with ground beef has all the great flavors of traditional beef stroganoff but takes a fraction of time to cook! Get out your Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi and make it for dinner tonight!

Pressure Cooker Stroganoff Ground Beef

Cooking everything (even our uncooked noodles) together in our pressure cooker means it was done start to finish in about 20 minutes! Crazy right? You don’t have to have an IP brand to make this either though. We have 4 different brands and they all work the same. As long as they’re electric and have high pressure you’re good to go.

From a Crockpot Express to making this as a Ninja Foodi recipe you just saute, cook, fold together and enjoy as a one pot meal. If you need a dairy free version you can make the condensed soup from scratch and skip the sour cream or find a lactose free version at the store.

Stroganoff casserole

The really fast method where you enjoy it straight out of the pot – creamy, delicious, and sure to get major YUMs from everyone in your family

1. Taking it one step further by adding crunchy fried onions to the top and sticking it under the broiler to crisp up, or in your Ninja Foodi using air crisp at 400 degrees for a few minutes
   1. This seriously takes this beef stroganoff casserole OVER THE TOP from delicious to OH MY!

We choose to take it a step further but really either way will please everyone at your dinner table.

Ok, so what we use is simple. That is the way I cook. I have 3 daughters, work full time (as a food blogger, yeah!!), and want to create delicious meals in under 30 minutes.

• That’s where my Instant Pot and Campbell’s soups come into play!

Hamburger Stroganoff

Yes typically your grandmother probably always made this with stew meat or cut up beef of some kind. I have done that many many times like that too but for a more kid friendly, and cheaper meal, just use hamburger instead. Here are a few questions you might have before getting started:

What can I use instead of sour cream in beef stroganoff?

Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream if needed. Use equal amounts and choose plain vs. a fruit flavor. If you cannot have lactose I have found dairy free versions at the store. You could use a bit of cottage cheese too for a bit of creamy.

How do you make hamburger stroganoff from scratch?

We will show you how to make Instant Pot hamburger stroganoff right here! With egg noodles, ground beef, condensed soup and broth it comes out perfect every time.

The best way to amp up the flavors in this dish are to add all the seasonings you love into the ground beef mixture. Taste along the way at that time and adjust if needed. You can always add more, but it’s hard to take it away so use a light hand.

Instant Pot Stroganoff with Ground Beef

I like this method better than the stovetop method because:

• Everything can be cooked together in one pot – traditionally I cooked my egg noodles separately, just eliminates a step
• Using my pressure cooker cuts down on the overall cook time – I love being able to throw everything in and walking away until it is done
• Making this in a slow cooker wouldn’t turn out as well with the noodles (in my opinion)

Because anything called a casserole always gets a thumbs up in my house – total comfort food y’all

Ground beef stroganoff 

This is why we love this one more than the “traditional method”. My kids prefer lean ground beef vs. small cubed stew meat

1. Ground beef is a great meat to use in casseroles. It breaks up into smaller pieces and soaks up a lot of flavor
2. Using the saute function when pressure cooking and a quick release makes it done in no time at all. It will stay nice and tender too
3. Hamburger is more inexpensive so when I am adding to my list of cheap pressure cooker recipes cost is a factor

With that being said, if you really prefer to use beef we do have an Instant Pot beef stroganoff recipe you can follow as well. Ingredients are similar yet we cooked the noodles separately because beef takes longer to cook in your pressure cooker to get really tender.

Instant Pot stroganoff casserole

The last step where we transfer into a pan and bake with some crunch on the top is of course optional. I will tell you that it is beyond delicious and has gotten raving reviews with it every time it’s made. I would spend the extra few minutes to do it.

1. Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi
2. 1 can Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup
   1. or make it homemade cream of mushroom
3. Bag of egg noodles – I prefer extra wide noodles
4. Pound of ground beef – could substitute ground turkey or sausage as a twist
5. Add the onion if you like, it’s great for texture
6. 1 pkg. whole mushrooms
7. 2.5 c. beef broth
8. 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
9. Worcestershire sauce
10. 1 c. canned or homemade crispy fried onions
11. Green onions – optional
12. Sour Cream 
13. Salt and pepper to taste

If you need a dairy free stroganoff you can omit the sour cream at the end, it’s still super yummy without it. I would really suggest coating the top with those onions you love at Thanksgiving time. It takes this over the top!!

Instant Pot ground beef stroganoff

The beauty of this is you use just one pot for all of it so there is a quicker cleanup. You could even store the leftovers with a lid once it cools down. There usually isn’t any to save in our house but ya’ know….

1. Set pressure cooker to saute and add ground beef and diced onion. Cook until meat is no longer pink. Then drain grease and put pot back.
2. Sprinkle in garlic salt and stir. In a separate bowl whisk together your can of cream of mushroom soup, worcestershire sauce, and broth until smooth.
3. Sprinkle in quartered mushrooms, then pour your bag of uncooked egg noodles on top of your mushrooms.  Pour your broth mixture over the top of them. Do not stir mixture.
4. Close lid and steam valve. Set to high pressure for 2 minutes, then then release the pressure quickly. (3 minutes if you like your noodles on the softer side)
5. Now stir in 1/2 – 3/4 c. of sour cream, or serve as is with a dollop of sour cream on top.

If adding fried onions transfer the casserole mixture from the pot into a 9×9 oven safe dish and sprinkle onions over the top. Can add green onions too. Using an oven: put under broiler for 3-4 minutes or until onions are light brown.

For Foodi: close air crisp lid on Ninja Foodi and cook at 400 degrees for about 4-6 minutes or until crispy onions are as brown as you’d like. Serve with or without sour cream dollop on top.
