Mushroom Stroganoff FAQs
Can I make it gluten-free?
Yes use gluten-free noodles and swap flour for cornstarch.
Does Mushroom Stroganoff freeze well?
Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days in the fridge. It doesn’t freeze best due to creamy sauce texture, but is excellent for next-day lunches.
What mushrooms work best?
Baby bella, cremini, or even button mushrooms work well.
Can I add protein?
