Bree says
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.
Nikki Olson says
Thanks for this perfect recipe!! We loved it!

Saw you post the recipe and knew I had to make it for my daughter who came home for the weekend from college! We are both a HUGE fan! She’s taking the leftovers back! Super easy to make

Delicious—reminded me of my childhood but with better ingredients!!
Ann says
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.

SO delicious! We made this tonight for a weeknight dinner, and I had mine on its own without pasta and it really hit the spot 🙂 Such an easy recipe, packed with flavour, and so satisfying! I followed your suggestions of topping it with chives and freshly grated parmesan, and I think that really took it to the next level. Thank you so much! This will definitely go on the rotation.

I can't wait to try this on our next camping trip (prepped ahead of time). My husband always talks about eating HH on every camping trip as a kid. I can't bring myself to eat all the junk in the boxed mix, but this looks great homemade!
