Easy Beef Stroganoff ~ just throw everything in a Crock-Pot and cook to have a comforting, filling, and healthy meal your family will enjoy
Remember yesterday how I talked about trying to stretch that steak I got on sale?
Well, today I am using the other portion along with some mushrooms to make some Crock-Pot Beef Stroganoff.
This isn't the prettiest dish, but it's mighty delicious. I don't care if it isn't pretty because it's good and it's easy and I didn't have to stand over the stove cooking {September is still a hot month for New Orleans}.
Like I did for the Beef & Veggie Stir-Fry, I used less meat and more veggies ~ 12 ounces of steak plus 12 ounces of mushrooms for this dish
I thought it was the perfect balance of meat to veggies.
Oh and the meat is so tender and delicious I can't even stand it.
So most stroganoff calls for sour cream, but I do not buy sour cream since plain Greek yogurt is similar in taste & texture and it's usually in my refrigerator already.
Plus, Greek yogurt is much healthier than sour cream as it provides you with a great source of lean protein.
The only problem is that it can look a little not so pretty when you make the sauce in the Crock-Pot. I used fat-free Greek yogurt {and it is a little old - oops}, so the sauce wasn't perfectly smooth. It wasn't that noticeable but it wasn't perfect. Using 2% Greek yogurt or whole fat yogurt should fix that problem.
