Notes

To store leftovers, let the stroganoff cool completely, then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave when ready to serve. For variations, you can use different meats like chicken or turkey, or make a vegetarian version with lentils or mushrooms.
