Notes

  • Ground beef is budget-friendly, while sirloin creates a more traditional stroganoff.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest texture.
  • Avoid overcooking noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Add peas or spinach for extra vegetables.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of broth or milk to loosen the sauce.
