My Meatball Stroganoff Pot Pie is a comfort food reality! Baked meatballs, noodles, onions and mushrooms get cozy in a thyme and yogurt sauce before being tucked between two sheets of pie crust and baked to a golden brown. Topped with a big dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of parsley, each slice is absolute perfection.
Hi, my name is Melanie and I’m a comfort food addict. It also appears that I have a slight obsession with meatballs, as you’ve no doubt noted by now. So I figure, at this point the obvious thing to do is throw caution to the wind and combine them both. I didn’t think you would mind, right?
So say – hypothetically, of course – you were sent a package of No Yolks Extra Broad Noodles. They’re one of your favorites. That, for the record, is not hypothetical, they’re often found on your pantry shelf. What’s the first thing you’d think of making? Beef stroganoff, right? I knew we were on the same wavelength!
But, beef stroganoff? Been there, done that. Let’s up the comfort food quotient, shall we? What if we tucked all of that delicious goodness between two pie crusts and transformed it into a pot pie? AND what if instead of just beef, you swapped it out for thyme-infused meatballs? Hypothesize no more! That’s exactly what I’ve done!
My Meatball Stroganoff Pot Pie is no longer a figment of your imagination, but an absolute reality! Baked meatballs, noodles, onions and mushrooms get cozy in a thyme and yogurt sauce before being tucked between two sheets of pie crust and baked to a golden brown. And just to reinforce the stroganoff-ness of it all, a big dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of parsley on the top of each slice are the perfect finishing touch.
With a typical noodle, this recipe wouldn’t be possible, but with No Yolks, it is, as they always cook up right – smooth, firm and delicious. No mushy noodles or potpie filling here!

Save RecipeIngredients
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pounds ground beef
- 2 9" refrigerated pie crusts
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup sliced onions
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups No Yolks Extra Broad Noodles
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except beef.
- Add beef and mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
- Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, form meatballs and place on foil or parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In pie plate, place one unbaked pie crust. I prefer the kind you purchase in the refrigerated section that you just unroll. Prick bottom of crust with fork and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, add olive oil and cook mushrooms until softened. Add butter and onions and cook until onions begin to brown.
- Stir in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and add noodles. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente.
- Remove from heat and stir in yogurt, thyme and meatballs. Season filling with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour filling into pie plate over bottom crust.
- Cover pies with top crust and crimp to seal edges. Make four slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
You will only use half of the meatballs to make a single pot pie. Freeze the remaining meatballs for a future recipe or double the filling to make two pot pies.
So what do you say? Let’s make comfort food season a year round thing. Agreed?
