Today’s guest post is from Jennifer, from 86carrots.com, sharing a delicious looking recipe!
This past weekend I went to my local library and checked out the American Heart Association’s new cookbook. I copied a few recipes and have thus far tried two. The first was Chicken Scallop al Limone but that was just ok, so I didn’t want to waste your time with it. But tonight, ooooooo-eeeeee, Ground Beef Stroganoff. It is fantastic and uses ground beef which I prefer highly over hunks o’beef.
It is quick, easy and oh so delicious! Great for a quick meal on a work night.

Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 5 oz Dried No-Yolk Noodles (no seriously, they mean only 5 oz)
- Cooking Spray (I nixed this)
- 1 lb. Extra Lean Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Chopped Onion (I had to puree’ this for Garrett)
- 2 medium Garlic Cloves, minced
- 4 to 6 oz of Button Mushrooms, sliced (I used 8 oz. of regular mushrooms sliced)
- 1/2 cup Fat-Free, No-Salt added Beef Broth
- 1 cup Evaporated Milk
- 2 teaspoons All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoons Light Chive and Onion Cream Cheese
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce, lowest sodium available
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1 – Prepare egg noodles using the package directions, omitting salt. Drain well in a colander. Set aside.
2 – Meanwhile, lightly spray a Dutch Oven or large skillet with cooking spray. Cook the beef over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until no longer pink, stirring frequently to turn and break up the beef. Drain if necessary.
3 – Stir in the onion and garlic. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft, stirring occassionally.
4 – Stir in the mushrooms and broth. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occassionally.
5 – In a small bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk and flour until smooth. Stir into the beef mixture. Increase the heat to medium. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
6 – Stir in the cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and salt until well blended.
7 – Serve over the noodles.
Oooooooh yeah! NOM NOM NOM. If you make it, let me know what you think!

That looks yummy. Real comfort food. Love all the easy recipes on your blog!
Thank you Penny. I enjoy cooking but working a full time job and attending grad school leaves little time for difficult meals. Hope you stop by the blog often. 🙂
Jennifer thank you so much for this! I have been craving beef stroganoff but not finding any recipes that I like. This will be on my list for next week’s meal plan!
