Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. sirloin sliced into small pieces
¼ onion- diced
4-5 small cloves of garlic minced (I use a garlic press)
1 can Campbell’s lower sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup (1025 mg. sodium)
1 c. Her*box Sodium Free Beef Bouillon prepared
4-8 oz. mushrooms diced (I used about 6)
½ c. white wine (cause I like the taste, but not the alcohol, bleah!)
½ c. fat free sour cream (100 mg. sodium)
12 oz. No Yolk egg noodles (1% = 25 mg. sodium)
Corn starch

Directions:
1.Brown meat in oil with onion in your favorite LARGE sauce pan. Use a nice silicon scraper/spatula. I have a 13” T-Fal pan I’m in love with. My husband has been given strict washing instructions and it looks brand new after 1 year. FANTASTIC! Remember to place knife, cutting board, and garlic press (or whatever you used to cut up the garlic) into the dish washer.
2. Add garlic sauté for a few minutes, or until garlic turns golden brown. Reduce heat.
3. Add the condensed mushroom soup. Pour the prepared bouillon mixture into the can and stir to clean out the leftover soup. This prevents you from ruining your spatula scraper by trying to cram it into a small can. It also ensures you don’t lose any precious soup! Pour bouillon into the pan. Simmer for a few while you dice mushrooms.
4. Add diced mushrooms. After 5 minutes or so add ½ c. white wine. (Meaning, however long it took me to find the white wine and sour cream, and measure it out or however long I was distracted by reality—dog, TV, husband, etc. if I actually got the ingredients out BEFORE cooking.) Stir in sour cream after the wine.
5. Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, while you make the egg noodles. Make sure to inhale the aroma periodically while stirring…it’s good for you.
Remember you can wander off to accomplish other things. Watching noodles boil is boring. Don’t wander TOO far, we don’t want to forget kitchen safety. Maybe across the kitchen to peer into another room and watch TV or to load the dish washer/wash the dishes you have used. Pack tomorrow’s lunch if you aren’t going to eat leftovers from tonight’s dinner. Or to check your email. I usually call my hubby in to let me take the dog out. I also go in hunt of my strainer. Where I did I put it in my crazy kitchen? At this point, your noodles should be nearly done. Strain them when done!
6.Check your Stroganoff mixture. Is it thick enough for your liking? If not you can add some flour or corn starch. I used 1 tsp. corn starch to make it a little thicker.
Serve it up! If you want some extra veggie products, I think that broccoli and water chestnuts would be pr
etty good added to the recipe after steaming.Sorry for the images. My mom says my food tastes great, but looks like vomit.
