How to Make It

We love that this recipe is beyond simple. Yes, you will need to make the noodles right before serving, but it’s so easy that anyone can make it.

BROWN. Add oil to a large skillet on medium high heat. Toss meat with flour and salt and pepper to taste. Brown meat in hot oil, about 2 minutes per side. Add in broth and Worchestershire sauce and simmer for about 15 minutes.

NOODLES. Cook egg noodles according to package directions.

SAUCE. Add sour cream, whipping cream and garlic salt to meat mixture and combine right before serving. Add noodles to mixture and combine or serve gravy meat over a bed of noodles. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Slow Cooker Version

How to make Beef Stroganoff in the crock pot. It’s so easy:

• Just add the browned meat, Worchestershire sauce and broth to the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours.
• Add sour cream, whipped cream and garlic salt and cooked noodles right before serving.

Recipe Tips and Variations

Why do you add the sour cream last? Sour cream contains natural acids which, when heated, causes the dairy proteins to curdle at a faster rate. You can keep this from happening by adding the sour cream at the end.

Variations: While this dish is delicious as is, it is sometimes it’s nice to change things up a little. Try some of these variation ideas:

• Sautee mushrooms and onions with the meat before adding it to the broth
• Serve over rice or mashed potatoes
• Garnish with chives and parsley

As mentioned above, we also change out the meat we use for the dish – sometimes it’s hamburger, sometimes it’s roast.

Storage Tips

You can store leftover stroganoff in the fridge or in the freezer!

• Fridge: store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
• Freezer: store in an airtight freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: If frozen, then thaw overnight. Reheat in a crockpot, stove top or in the microwave.
