Let’s face it, beef stroganoff is not a traditionally healthy recipe, but we have a healthier beef stroganoff recipe that may just fit the bill in case you are not adhering to a strict diet. We will be using a low-fat sour cream in place of the normally used cream of mushroom soup, which means we can cut some of the calories off and still maintain the savory flavor we all know and love. We will be using a slow cooker so you can set it and forget, making this an easy meal that keeps for days.

Use whatever noodles you prefer; whether it is the egg noodles most of us grew up on or some spiral pasta, they all work well. Additional vegetables can also be used if you crave a few more or want to sneak a few more into your children’s meals without complaints. This meal can be frozen and keeps in the freezer for a couple of months or a few days in the fridge. Visit us at BalanceKG for all your meal and fitness needs!
