Ingredients

  • 1. A packet of egg noodles weighing 6 ounces, like the No Yolks® variety,
  • 2. A pound of lean ground beef,
  • 3. Sliced mushrooms from an 8-ounce pack,
  • 4. Diced medium-sized onion,
  • 5. Minced garlic cloves, a duo,
  • 6. Mustard powder in a quantity of half a teaspoon,
  • 7. Salt, also half a teaspoon,
  • 8. Freshly ground black pepper, half a teaspoon as well,
  • 9. Light sour cream measuring half a cup,
  • 10. Light mayonnaise, also half a cup,
  • 11. Low-sodium beef broth, half a cup.

Step 1

Begin by bringing a pot of water to a lively boil with a touch of salt, letting it dance with anticipation. Toss in the egg noodles, giving them a gentle swirl every now and then, patiently waiting until they reach that perfect balance of tender yet slightly al dente, usually around 5 minutes.

Step 2

While the noodles are on their journey to deliciousness, warm up a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, creating a sizzle symphony. Drop in the ground beef, mushrooms, onion, garlic, a hint of mustard powder, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of pepper, allowing them to mingle and dance together until the meat turns a golden brown hue and the onion and mushrooms become soft and fragrant, a process that usually takes around 7 to 10 minutes. Once done, bid farewell to any excess fat or liquid that may have overstayed its welcome.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, blend together the creamy trio of sour cream, mayonnaise, and beef broth to create a luscious harmony of flavors. Introduce this mixture to the beef medley in the skillet, letting them twirl and tango for approximately 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.

Step 4

To serve, you have options aplenty - either elegantly plate the noodles and generously ladle the savory sauce on top, letting them intermingle on the plate, or opt for a more intimate affair by tossing the noodles directly into the sauce before serving, ensuring each strand is lovingly coated in the rich, flavorful concoction. Bon appétit!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your ingredients organized in the fridge by using clear, stackable containers. This will make meal prep a breeze and ensure you have everything you need for your Slim Beef Stroganoff at hand.
  2. 2. Utilize the freezer for any leftover portions of the dish. Portion out individual servings in freezer-safe containers for a quick and easy meal on busy days.
