Easy Beef Stroganoff

We have a long-running discussion about whether this easy beef stroganoff should be served over mashed potatoes (my husband grew up eating it this way) or over buttered noodles (the way I grew up eating it) at our house.

I admit that it’s good both ways, and this recipe makes it ridiculously easy to make. It takes only four ingredients (in addition to either the mashed potatoes or buttered noodles) and relies on Lipton® Onion Soup mix for the flavoring. The original recipe uses sour cream but you can substitute Greek yogurt for a slightly healthier version of the recipe.

Since this recipe makes it so easy to make, cook some up and try beef stroganoff both ways. Then, let us know which way is right!
