The sauce was perfection. I have never made stroganoff with regular pasta and it was so good - more hearty I would say - it’s perfect comfort food. I minced the mushrooms in a mini food processor since I love mushroom flavor and the family is a little picky and they didn’t even know they were in there they just add to the beefy flavor.

This recipe is really really good! Super easy and super family friendly and the recipe makes a lot. We’re an OG hamburger helper family so this was a must try. My picky 8 year old ate it 2 nights in a row and my teen ate it for lunch and dinner 2 days in a row (and let friends steal bites and they loved it too). Both kids said it was like the hamburger helper stroganoff but way better.
