Noodles and meatballs (not necessarily together) are staple dinner ingredients in our household. If I had a dollar for every time my kids have requested noodles for dinner… Well… I’d have a lot of dollars, lol!
Most of the time, I’ll make noodles with butter and parmesan, but sometimes I get creative and add chicken, veggies or in today’s case, meatballs!
Our go-to brand for noodles is theNo Yolks Broad Noodles. The No Yolks Noodles cook up in a flash and can be used in just about any type of recipe; they’re great in soups, casseroles,stroganoff and of course on their own with butter and parmesan.
No Yolks come in different sizes so they’re great in almost any recipe. (Broad, Extra Broad, Fine, Kluski, Dumplings, and even Stir-Fry – which I can’t wait to try out). They’re made with egg whites which makes the noodles low in cholesterol, fat and sodium.

1/2 cup diced onions
3 cups beef broth
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian spice blend
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 cups No Yolks noodles
3/4 cup of cream
1/2 cup sour cream
Meatballs, (the amount you desire – see tips above) defrosted and warmed up in the microwave.

Add beef broth, garlic, Italian spice blend, salt, pepper and noodles to skillet. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are al dente. (Still at med-high heat.)
Stir cream into the skillet, add meatballs. Reduce heat to med-low. Cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes until liquid thickens a bit.
Gently stir in sour cream and heat through.

Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If you’re a mushroom lover – definitely double the mushrooms.
Sauce will thicken more as it cools.
For more sauce, you can add more cream.
If you use half-n-half instead of cream, you may end up needing to add a little bit of a cornstarch slurry for a thicker sauce.
The number of meatballs needed will vary based on thekind you use. My package said 5 = one serving. (So I cooked6 per person = 24 meatballs.)

The best cuts of beef for stroganoff are tender, juicy cuts such as: boneless rib eye – also called scotch fillet (pictured above)boneless sirloin. sirloin steak tips.
Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative to the traditionally used sour cream in beef stroganoff recipes, so you can be confident that your family is getting a satisfying, healthy meal. Fresh dill and paprika will provide a sweet, slightly smoky garnish to top off the dish.
Cornstarch: Cornstarch is an ingredient that comes in handy if you want your sauce a little thicker. Sour cream: Full-fat sour cream is what we used, but feel free to substitute a lower-fat sour cream if you choose.
The classic ingredients for stroganoff sauce include onions, mushrooms, beef broth or stock, and sometimes a splash of white wine or brandy for flavor. The sauce is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes a hint of mustard or Worcestershire sauce.
Sour cream can curdle if added directly to hot liquid. To prevent curdling, temper the sour cream by stirring a little of the hot liquid into it and then adding the warmed sour cream mixture to the pan. Buttered egg noodles (see below for details of our tasting) are the classic accompaniment to this recipe.
Add the onion and cook gently for 10 minutes, or until softened and starting to caramelise. Stir in the garlic and cook gently for 2 minutes. Crumble in the stock cube and stir in the paprika and tomato purée.
Insert an instant-read thermometer into a few random cubes at the end of the cooking time to make sure that they are at least 145 degrees F, which is medium-rare. Do not cook them over 180 degrees or they will become tough.
Add a little flour, and whisk it in to make a roux—the base of your creamy beef stroganoff sauce. Add all of the things that give this easy beef stroganoff recipe its big, bold flavors—beef broth, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, spicy Dijon mustard, and sour cream.
Greek yogurt is one of the best swaps for sour cream that you can find. (Just be sure to look for plain Greek yogurt, not the flavored variety.) It has a similar creamy texture and that characteristic tang; plus, it's a healthy ingredient that'll add protein to your dish.
Therefore, to substitute 3/4 cup of sour cream, you would use 3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream. Keep in mind that sour cream has a thicker consistency than heavy whipping cream, so the texture and consistency of the final dish may be slightly different when using heavy whipping cream as a substitute.
Serve a dollop on baked potatoes, chili, nachos, enchiladas, or stir into recipes in place of sour cream. Great for sour cream based dips. *Use white vinegar for a taste that is most similar to sour cream. Use lemon juice if you prefer a faint hint of lemon taste.
Pour flour-water mixture into saucepan with beef mixture. This will thicken very quickly! Add sour cream and stir until mixture is smooth. If too runny, add more flour-water mixture and if too thick, add more sour cream.
Why is my stroganoff gummy? Sauces typically become gummy because you added too much of the thickening agent, in this recipe's case flour. If this happens to you, my recommendation would be to thin the sauce out using water or broth and adjust seasonings as needed to compensate for the added volume of liquid.
Browning adds more flavor to the gravy and gets rid of the raw flour taste. You're basically making a roux. We find that a flour-based gravy holds up better and reheats better later, which is why we tend to prefer using flour over cornstarch to make gravy unless we have a guest who is eating gluten-free.
Acidic ingredients help lift and balance flavor. Use small amounts of ingredients with bold flavors such as pomegranate seeds, chipotle pepper or cilantro. Give a flavor burst with condiments such as horseradish, flavored mustard, chutney, wasabi, bean purees, tapenade and salsas of all kinds.
If a dish is too sour, add a little bit of sugar! Sweetness balances out sour flavors, so if something makes your mouth pucker, a dash of sugar may help soften the blow of the sour food.
The lactic acid bacteria increases the thickness of the cream and adds its characteristic tangy flavor. You can use sour cream as an ingredient to add an acidic flavor to sweet and savory meals. There are different types of sour cream.
