Hi! It's Sharla from Freezer Meals 101 and today I am just going to talk through a little bit about
our Beef Stroganoff recipe. I know usually I share tips for freezer cooking and tips for
your prep and things like that, but I want to get more into some of the recipes because I know there
are people that are interested in recipes that freeze really well and what works for us and
when we do our freezer meals so I'm sharing today the beef stroganoff recipe and how we make that.
It's one of our favourites. I would say that all of our kids like it even the ones that
don't really like mushrooms. My husband loves it. I love it, so it's definitely a keeper and
we've been making it for years and years. So I've already assembled the meal. It is right here. I've
taken it out of the freezer and you can see it's all thawed and everything, but this was you know,
when laid flat, doesn't take up a lot of room in the freezer and uh we had assembled that on our
freezer prep day. So today all I'm doing is I've got my water cooking and I'm going to be adding
these egg noodles because egg noodles are the best with beef stroganoff. There's really no
other way to eat it in my opinion and then in this skillet here, I'm gonna be throwing in
the beef stroganoff mixture and really it doesn't take very long at all to cook up, just you know,
less than 10 minutes to warm it up. I like to warm it on pretty low and then I'm gonna stir
in some extra sour cream. That part is entirely up to you. If you like to stir in a little bit of
extra sour cream or a lot of extra sour cream. The trick to that though is you don't want it to be,
you don't want to add the sour cream too early because you don't want it to be
boiling in there. You just want to kind of add it at the end just before serving so that it's
warm but it's still got that good texture so and then I serve it over the egg noodles
with sometimes if we've got fresh parsley, I add that on top and otherwise
not. So really, it's got the mushrooms in there already. It's got your beef. It's got
the sauce so it's a pretty complete meal, but of course some greens wouldn't do you any harm,
so you can add some peas or a salad to the side of that but yeah, that is pretty much as easy as it
gets
So I've got my water boiling. I'm just gonna add my egg noodles. Um, I'm realizing I need
more hands than I have. Okay, so we got boiling water and throw in our egg noodles.
This meal is not a huge meal, so if you have a large family, you're going to want to double it.
We have seven kids, but one of our teens is at work right now, one of our kids is hiking, and
one of them has already moved out, so we don't have very many of us home, well comparatively.
We don't have very many of us home for supper tonight, so I chose this meal purposely on
this day because I knew that it was going to be enough to feed those of us that are here, but
on a day when our whole family is home, I would actually be pulling out two of the beef
stroganoffs and then throwing in two packages of the egg noodles. So that would be enough
to feed all of us whereas this will be enough because we're not all home. So as you can see,
my beef stroganoff is starting to bubble. I gotta get a better angle on that. There we go
and so I've got it on medium heat and it's been in there for not very long at all but it's already
getting cooked through and then I'm going to add in a spoonful of sour cream and it will be ready
to go. If you are looking for more freezer meal recipes or freezer meal prep tips, then you can
