There are many variations of Beef Stroganoff recipes out there and chances are your favorite recipe is the one you grew up eating it as a child. Some like it with or without mushrooms, peas, wine, tomato sauce, etc.
This is the recipe I grew up eating (lightened up a bit). Now, I don’t usually make recipes with canned soup, but I’ve always enjoyed this as a kid, so I thought I would share Mom’s recipe. It’s been years since I’ve eaten this, and this was my family’s first time tasting it, so they were the deciding factor if this would get posted or not. Two thumbs up from my picky daughter! She loved it, even ate the mushrooms to our surprise!
Growing up we ate this over egg noodles but to lower the points, why not serve this over spaghetti squash?

Mine was really watery too. I don't think you need the water at all. Then I tried to burn off some of the liquid and overcooked the meat.. eeks. I will definitely try again though.
I made this tonight and it was very tasty. Mine was also very watery so I put noodles in it toward the end of cooking to absorb some of the liquid. Will probably reduce the amount of water I add next time. YUMMY!!!
Absolutely stunning, made for dinner tomorrow and must have had a portion just nibbling. Really wasn't sure I'd like something made with tinned soup!!!!! But it is gorgeous. Another success Gina x
This was really delicious. Very flavorful. Although it was SUPER watery? Like way more watery than the picture. Wonder what I did wrong? Seems like I should have omitted the cup of water entirely.
Made this last night, no substitutions. It was a huge hit with the family. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for another great recipe, Gina.
Made this tonight. Really great recipe! A definite keeper.
Thanks
This one needs updating, will work on it this week.
I didnt see where it had the Pts + value. Is it 7 for both programs, old and +?
Thanks so much, cant wait to try it! Hoping my picky daughter will eat the mushrooms as well 🙂
I just tried the "miracle noodles" and they would be GREAT with this recipe without adding any points at all.
This was really easy to make and very good. My hard to please husband loved it! Thanks.
Could you use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Sure I would use fill fat and temper it first.
I'm happy to hear! Mom will be happy too 🙂
Thanks for sharing this recipe! We tried it tonight and it really made a delicious dish. This week all of our recipes came from your site! 🙂
Another great dinner thanks to you! Delicious! Thank you so much
I made this for supper tonight………it was sooooooo good! I 'cut' the recipe – to make only one portion – and it's a good thing – because I'd have eaten 2 portions, if I'd had them! 🙂
I haven't tried, but it should be ok.
Would the Crockpot work for this dish?
i make my stroganoff in the crock pot all the time – just cut the meat in bigger pieces if you are going to cook it all day. also add the mushrooms at the end.
I'm not quite sure, you'll have to check on ww e tools.
If I use Sirloin Steak and add 1/2 cup of Red Wine how does this change the point value?
Yes, it's without.
Noreen, I always enjoyed this myself growing up.
This was fantastic! Didn't have steak in the freezer so I used beef country ribs and cut them as described in the recipe. It worked just as well – great tasting and tender. My hubby took leftovers today and said that this recipe is a keeper. Thanks, Gina, for a great recipe. (Noreen from PA)
