Having a solid stroganoff recipe in your back pocket as a Minnesotan is a must. Not only is it hearty (thank you pasta!), but the flavors of this mushroom stroganoff are out of this world. Typically I like to make one of our beef stroganoff for my family because my husband is a big meat eater, but I love that this is a vegetarian take. Plus, it only takes 30 minutes! We also made this stroganoff sauce extra special by using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to add a boost of protein.

What is in mushroom stroganoff sauce?

Traditional: Stroganoff sauce is traditionally made with sour cream and a roux, which is a mixture of butter, flour, and milk or broth. Most stroganoff sauces have onion, mushrooms (even beef stroganoff), and Worcestershire sauce. Fit Foodie: We went with a more nutritious version of a creamy and delicious sauce for this mushroom stroganoff with triple the amount of mushrooms and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Here’s what else you need:

Vegetable broth – we’ve made this recipe using beef broth (which isn’t vegetarian) and that also works, too. Yellow onion – white onion or shallt works too. Garlic – garlic is a must for this sauce. It adds so much savory flavor. Mushrooms – Mushrooms are the star of the show. Scroll down to see which ones we recommend. Worcestershire sauce – a little bit of vinegar really helps bring out all of the umami flavors. Greek yogurt or sour cream – we have used both yogurt and sour cream. So, feel free to use whichever you want. Flour – flour helps thicken the sauce. We used white whole wheat flour, but all-purpose flours works too.
