When I prepare this recipe for sausage stroganoff with pasta, I utilize:

Cooking Spray – Substitute with olive oil or another cooking oil of your choice.

Pork Sausages

Butter

Red Onion

Garlic Puree – Or utilize three crushed garlic cloves. If using fresh, cook for a few minutes before progressing to the next step of the recipe.

You’ll Also Require

All you need for making sausage stroganoff is:

• A sharp knife and cutting board to prepare the ingredients.
• A large, non-stick, heat-resistant pan. I prefer my frying pan, but a Dutch Oven would suffice as well.

How to Prepare Sausage Stroganoff – Step-by-Step Guide

Complete, easy-to-follow guidelines and measurements can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Step One

Generously spray a large, non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat on the stove. If you are using cooking oil, warm the pan before adding the

oil.

Step Two

Incorporate the sausages, and sauté for 10 minutes, frequently turning until the sausages are lightly caramelized.

If you wish, you can caramelize the sausages in the oven or prepare them in an air fryer rather than frying.

Step Three

Transfer the sausages to a clean plate and set aside. Any fragments that have detached or oil can remain in the pan. Just scrape it to deglaze when you introduce the butter.

Step Four

Dissolve the butter in the identical pan.

Step Five

Introduce the onions and sauté for 5-10 minutes until tender, stirring frequently.

Step Six

Mix in the garlic puree.

Step Seven

Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. It may appear to be an abundance, but they will quickly condense.

Step Eight

Blend in the mustard and paprika.

Step Nine

Pour the stock and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step Ten

Return the sausages along with any juices on the plate, and combine thoroughly.

Step Eleven

Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step Twelve

Incorporate the soured cream and parsley.

Step Thirteen

Stir thoroughly and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step Fourteen

Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. You can lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

Top Tips

I don’t have many suggestions for this one. It’s quite simple and consistently tastes amazing.

I suppose just to choose sausages that you enjoy, and to prepare your sides while everything is cooking.

If, like me, you serve your stroganoff with pasta, you may want to mix the drained pasta in so that it is coated in stroganoff sauce instead of layering the sausages on top of the pasta. If necessary, add some of the pasta water to make the sauce thinner and more abundant.

Serving Suggestions

I’m a bit dull, truly, and consistently serve my stroganoff with pasta. Our family adores pasta, and it’s a significant favorite. Sausage tagliatelle, in particular, is highly cherished!

However, stroganoff is also wonderful with potatoes, rice, or bread.

Variations

There are several different ingredients you can utilize, such as varying types of sausages, mushrooms, and fresh garlic. But alongside those straightforward swaps, there are a few adjustments you can make.

Chop the Sausages

I put my sausages back into the pan whole. My children are older, so chopping isn’t an issue at the dinner table, and I think it’s simpler to serve them evenly.

Yet, you could cut the cooked sausages into pieces before returning them to the pan if you prefer.

Add Some Heat

This sausage stroganoff recipe isn’t very spicy. The paprika is merely for flavor.

Add more or a hint of chili if you desire a spicier taste.

Add More Cream

Alternatively, add a bit more soured cream if you prefer your sausage stroganoff to be exceptionally creamy.

Leftovers

If you have any remaining sausage stroganoff, you can warm it up in a pan with a little extra water or stock, cooking over a medium heat and stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until the sausages are piping hot. Use a lid to accelerate the process if you’re in a rush.

You may also reheat it in the microwave.

Storage

Transfer leftovers from the cooking pan to cool in a clean bowl or container as swiftly as possible.

Cover and store in the fridge for 1-2 days.
