This is one of my go-to meals.
Ground beef is pretty quick to thaw out and the sauce comes together in a snap. The beef is easily substituted with ground chicken (my personal favorite) or turkey or even sliced chicken breast or my mom even uses like a stir fry beef which is very tasty. For the photo above I actually used some leftover goat backstrap I had pan seared the night before, I simply minced it with my clever and tossed it in.
I grew up eating stroganoff over egg noodles as pictured, but when Jeremiah and I got married he informed me he prefers it over rice. A little strange, but tasty and since I always use brown rice it’s a tad healthier. I have also heard of putting it over quinoa but Jeremiah doesn’t care so much quinoa so I have been a little frightened to mess with one of his favorite meals too much 😉
