    This is a rich and creamy, and very satisfying healthy beef stroganoff. Full of distinctive Stroganoff flavor its scrumptious noodles, sauce and beef come together to melt in your mouth.

    It uses less beef, replacing it for black beans. The beans add fiber and are full of folic acid and vitamins. Reducing the amount of noodles from a traditional recipe, this also slightly reduces the amount of carbohydrates.

    The kids always enjoy this immensely, as well. Initially, they were a little leery of the beans but once they began eating they really didn’t even notice. Personally, I think the beans also add a nice texture to the creamy pasta.

    A quick and easy recipe, this is great for a hearty week night meal. Serve with a fresh green salad and another cooked vegetable on the side. It would also pair well with a rustic red wine.

    Ingredients

    The essential ingredients for healthy beef stroganoff might surprise you. Nothing can bring more flavor and taste sensation to your meal that onions, slowly caramelized. Also essential is the famous sauce with the bold tangy flavor, Worcestershire, which give Stroganoff its distinctive taste. Lastly, black beans are scrumptious, hearty and just bursting with nutrition.

    I used whole milk for this recipe, although you could easily use what ever you have on hand. This hearty pasta dish would be even better with about 2 cups of sliced mushrooms, sadly I didn’t have any on hand. You could easily add any other of your favorite vegetables that you have. As you can see this, like many of my recipes are very flexible and you have wiggle room to add your own favorites.

    Storing and reheating

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. This beef stroganoff is one of those recipes that improves when you are eating the leftovers a day or two later. Eat within about four to five days for best flavor.

    I recommend reheating this stroganoff on the stove top in a skillet over medium heat. Add a few tablespoons of milk or water to the pan to help prevent sticking and to moisten the noodles. Add the stroganoff and cover with a lid. Stir frequently and gently until noodles are hot. Add more water or milk if needed to adjust the consistency.

    Directions

    You will find a printable version of the recipe below but here is a quick summary about how to cook this easy recipe.
