What a good way to have your stroganoff without all the fat/calories. The flavor obviously isn't as deep as the full fat version, but we added a little burgandy wine and ate it over rice (so we didn't expect it to taste like stroganoff we have over noodles). It was very satisfying and I didn't feel bad about eating it! Thanks Derf - we'll make this one again.

This was pretty tasty and was definitely easy enough and healthy enough that I will make it again, but I also may add a little less broth and maybe add some more seasonings of some kind. A very nice start, though, and thank you for sharing it!

This was a pretty good meal, just was more like Stroganoff Soup. I would definately give this recipe another chance, but I would leave out the broth and just mix the sour cream with the juice from sauteeing the beef & the oil. I tried to thicken the sauce by using a cornstarch slurry, but it gave it too much of a floury taste. My husband liked it a lot though, and told me to put it on my list of regulars, so thanks for posting!
