We love recipes like this when we’re camping because they’re filling and easy—and let’s be real, when you’ve got a crew (especially hungry teens), you need something that actually sticks with them.

This is one of those meals where everyone goes back for seconds… and then asks if there’s more hiding in the pot. Spoiler: there usually isn’t.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef, cooked with fat drained – A hearty, protein-packed base that makes this dish super satisfying.
• 4 oz mushrooms, sliced – Adds that classic earthy flavor that makes stroganoff so delicious.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced – Brings a bold, savory depth to the dish.
• 1 tsp salt & pepper – Simple seasoning that enhances all the flavors.
• 1 pkg egg noodles – The perfect soft, tender pasta to soak up all that creamy sauce.
• 1 container (1 litre) beef stock – Creates a rich, flavorful base for cooking the noodles.
• 1 can mushroom soup – The secret to that creamy, comforting stroganoff texture.
• Fresh parsley, garnish – Adds a fresh pop of color and flavor right at the end.

Instructions

1. In a Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain and add mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender.

2. Add beef stock and egg noodles. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally so they don’t stick.

3. Remove from the heat and stir in the mushroom soup until well incorporated and warmed through.

4. Top with fresh parsley and serve.

Tips & Tricks

• Cook the ground beef at home and store it in a cooler to save time at camp. It makes this recipe come together so fast.
• Stir the noodles often while they simmer to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the Dutch oven.
• Keep your heat moderate—too high and the noodles can cook unevenly or burn.
• Add a splash of extra beef stock if the mixture gets too thick while cooking.
• Slice mushrooms ahead of time and store them in a container or bag for easy prep.
• Let the stroganoff sit for a few minutes after cooking—it thickens up perfectly and gets even creamier.

This Dutch oven beef stroganoff is one of those go-to camping meals that we keep coming back to. It’s simple, filling, and full of cozy flavor—basically everything we want after a day outdoors. And if you’ve got a group gathered around the fire waiting for dinner, trust us… this one’s going to be a hit.
