Greek Stroganoff

Back to my love of Greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute... I bring you Greek Stroganoff, a traditional comfort food with a slight upgrade.

This recipe comes from Pampered Chef's Power Cooking recipe collection.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 can of water chestnuts (in place of sliced mushrooms)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup water
1 cup Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream)
fresh parsley to top
egg noodles

Directions:

Saute ground beef with onions and add garlic when the two are finished cooking. Then add in spices and stir thoroughly. Next, add water chestnuts/mushrooms, soup, and water. Just before serving add in the Greek yogurt and parsley. Mix well. Serve over egg noodles.

For freezer meal: Prepare this dish up until you add the Greek yogurt. Let it cool and store in a gallon Ziploc bag. When you are ready to serve this, put the frozen bag in the fridge the night before and let it thaw throughout the day. That evening warm the nearly completed dinner in a stockpot and add Greek yogurt and parsley when ready. Serve over freshly cooked egg noodles. An easy way to keep up with these directions is to write the notes on the bag with a permanent marker. This way, you will be sure to pick up right where you left off. Enjoy!
