Food Hussy Recipe: Mushroom Stroganoff

Every once in a while – you get a hankering for something – right? The other night – I really just wanted something like Beef Stroganoff. But I knew I didn’t have any beef thawed out – but I did have mushrooms – so I went to town! 

This isn’t exactly a traditional stroganoff – that would obviously have beef, mustard and paprika – I wanted a light dish but still creamy. Egg noodles was something I basically didn’t eat for YEARS because my ex-husband was allergic. But – now that I’m on my own – egg noodles are back in my life!

I sort of made this up on the fly – I had some cream and chicken broth in the fridge that needed to be used along with mushrooms – and you put it all together and you’ve got a nice little sauce! I sauteed the mushrooms in butter because that adds to the flavor of the sauce.

In the time it took to make the noodles – the mushrooms and sauce were ready! I made just the right amount to have it for dinner and then the next day for lunch. I’ll definitely be making this again. Egg noodles are so light – I’m so happy to have them back in my life!! I loved that this is great for the “Meatless Monday” movement or even on Fridays during Lent!
