Grandma’s Beef Stroganoff
This Beef Stroganoff recipe comes from my grandmother who was an amazing cook. This isn’t a complex recipe but it brings back childhood memories. The smell of Beef Stroganoff cooking in the crockpot always reminds me of my grandmother and yummy dinners. While she has been gone for awhile now, her memory lives on in her recipes. I’ve lightened this one up a bit to make it lower fat and healthier but the main components are still there. I hope you love it as much as I do!
The recipe as written is not vegetarian, however I do make a vegetarian version of this as well.
To make this recipe vegetarian, make the following substitutions:
- Substitute 24 ounces (2 packages) of Boca Crumbles for the 2 pounds of ground beef
- Substitute 1 tsp Better than Bouillon No Beef Base + 8 ounces of boiling water for the 1 cup beef base. I found the Better than Bouillon No Beef Base on Amazon. They have a variety of different flavors many of which you can find in your grocery store, however I couldn’t find the No Beef Base at any of my stores.
I love making this, having it for dinner, then taking individual servings to work for lunch during the week. I typically serve Beef Stroganoff over egg noodles. I’ll make an extra large batch of noodles the night we have the Stroganoff for dinner and save the rest in individual servings to take with lunch. Heat up both in the microwave and you have a quick hot lunch!
