Weight Watchers Beef Stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is a childhood favorite dish of mine. My Dad would always make it for us. I don't really remember having too many favorite childhood dishes besides this one and Chicken Cheese Hotdish. He would always use ground beef and often times I see this recipe with cubed beef and mushrooms.

The only time I will ever eat mushrooms is when they're cut up into really tiny pieces like they are in condensed cream of mushroom soup.  Otherwise, then this recipe, this will be the only time you see a recipe that includes mushrooms on this site. I've tried to like mushrooms before but we just don't get along. It's a texture thing. That and black olives.

How to make this recipe lower in points?

If you don't agree or like the points listed below many of my recipes on my blog can be altered to help lower the points. There is no need to ask if you can use this or that to replace an ingredient. 🙂

Beef: Beef stroganoff is made with beef and is not on the list of lean proteins so it is going to be higher in points. It is the type of protein I prefer for this dish. 96% lean ground beef can be found at Aldi or Wal-Mart.

Ground Turkey is the closest protein to ground beef that I think would be a good substitute to help lower the points. If you want to sub chicken look up a chicken stroganoff recipe. 🙂

Greek Yogurt: This is a great substitute for using sour cream on WW since it is zero points.

Noodles: WW recipe builder has 2 different types of noodles. Cooked or uncooked. I used uncooked egg noodles for this recipe. I only use the cooked noodles option when I'm not combining the noodles. Let me explain.

Another way to control the points of this dish is to make the beef stroganoff mixture. Cook the noodles separately but don't add them in so you can control how much noodles you want. See what I'm saying?

Weight Watcher Point Calculations

Add 1 cup of the beef mixture to however many noodles you want.

1 cup cooked egg noodles: 6 points

½ cup of cooked egg noodles: 3 points

Hope, that makes sense? Phew.

Points for beef stroganoff without the noodles: Green: 3, Blue: 2, Purple: 2
