sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and add 1 pound of ground chuck.

Break up the ground chuck as it cooks.

Add 1 medium onion to the skillet and cook until the onion is softened.

Strain the cooked ground chuck and onion mixture to remove excess grease.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic to the skillet (or 1 tablespoon if preferred) and cook for a moment.

Add in the can of mushrooms and cook for about 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and season with salt and black pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Check the consistency of the stroganoff and cook longer if a thicker sauce is desired.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in about 1/4 cup of sour cream until well combined.

Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked noodles and garnish with parsley.
