Debra Clark says
I love this casserole dish. It's so easy and perfect for a weeknight meal!!
Rona says
This was really tasty. I did change it a little because of lack of ingredients though. I used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of the evaporated milk and didn't add mushrooms. The rest I followed exactly. My husband and I both loved it and finally had to move the pan away so we didn't eat too much. At first I thought there wouldn't be enough seasoning, but the Montreal Steak seasoning was perfect. Thank you for a yummy easy recipe. Will definitely make again.
Bowl Me Over says
Fantastic Rona, I'm glad you and your hubby enjoyed the Beef Stroganoff Recipe. It's so simple and tasty! Your adjustments are terrific and it's good to know the half and half is a great substitute for evaporated milk. Thanks for sharing and supporting the blog!

Looks Delicious.
In place of the ground beef, I usually use Mild Italian Sausage or good brand of pork sausage and will use the Wide Egg noodles of the Yolk noodles and will add in a jar of drained mushrooms so the sauce mixture. Served with a nice green salad and garlic / cheese bread
Cathy says
I USED to use mushroom soup if I was in a hurry but since I am now strictly watching sodium intake, I RARELY use (won't say never - green bean casserole!) canned soup.
So I use fresh mushrooms, steak (or I sometimes substitute chicken) and sour cream, although I have subbed Greek yogurt - gives it a very tangy taste. I do add some worcestershire sauce but not too much - again SODIUM. And my hubby usually grills the steak then I make the sauce stove top and add the sliced grilled steak. DELISH! (And I can have a supply of grilled steak in the freezer ready to go!)
I love my crockpot but almost never make stroganoff in it; I think the sauce becomes too watery.
Btw - love your recipes!
Carol says
Never tried adding mushroom soup or cheese to my stroganoff. I use fresh sautéed mushrooms, worcestershire sauce and low fat sour cream.
Angela says
I've never thought to use evaporated milk. I usually use sour cream but I don't always have it on hand. The canned milk is kind of genius!
Bowl Me Over says
Sour cream is rich and delicious as well - thank you Angela, I look forward to trying that - great tip!
Patricia says
I add a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce to my stroganoff.
Bowl Me Over says
Ii bet that ads aa nice depth of flavor. Thanks Patricia!
Ross says
Thank you for editing the instructions to include what to do with the cheese.
Bowl Me Over says
Thank you Ross for taking the time to ask the question, I really appreciate you pointing that out!
Pamela Arciva says
Replace ONE of the cans of mushroom soup with GOLDEN mushroom soup,and also add sour cream in the place of evaporated. . . It's absolutely delectable this way. . Have cooked this way 20 +years!!!
Ross says
Cheese is included in the ingredient list, but is not mentioned in the instructions. Please advise.
kesha says
This looks delicious! I usually add a little Worcestershire sauce and some fresh mushrooms. We always serve with noodles! I can't wait to try this recipe! I am sure it will be a family favorite!
Wally says
French onion soup is talked about but not In the ingredient list.
Bowl Me Over says
French onion soup mix is offered as an alternative ingredient if you don't have steak seasoning.
