6. Step 6: Either stir the cooked egg noodles into the sauce or serve the sauce over the noodles. Serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms along with the onions.
• Use homemade cream of mushroom soup for a fresher taste and to control ingredients.
• Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
• If you like a thicker sauce, simmer a little longer or add a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with water.

Storage

Store leftover stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if the sauce has thickened too much.
