As an adult, I discovered I was allergic to dairy so I stopped eating all kinds of tasty things until I learned to be brave and try substituting. I have been using the recipe for a while now and I just wanted to let everyone know that it is just as wonderful made dairy free. I use Almond Milk (unsweetened, plain) in place of milk and I use Tofutti’s Sour Supreme in place of sour cream. It’s still completely delicious and creamy and wonderful.

I have a soft spot for HH beef stroganoff but my husband abhors anything that comes from a box. This was spot on in terms of flavor for me and sans box made it husband friendly. My 2.5 yr old also polished her bowl. The only thing I did differently was to add a full 14.5oz can of beef broth since I used 12 oz of noodles and not 8 (that’s what I had on hand). I did up the spices too to compensate for the additional liquid. This is definitely going into the recipe rotation – thanks for sharing\!

Tastes almost identical to HH. I love that it only has about a third of the sodium that HH does and that is adjustable, depending on if you use stock, water or bouillon. I used Campbell’s “Simply Stock” beef stock. My husband loved this too and he isn’t a big fan of HH. I am the salt box junkie in the house. This was no more difficult to put together than a box of HH. I put everything together in a big measuring cup (I liquified the cornstarch before adding it) then blended it with my hand mixer for a second to unclump the paprika and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and brown the mushrooms. Remove to a bowl and set aside. 2. Brown ground beef in the same deep skillet. Discard all but 1 teaspoon of fat. 3. Bring back to medium heat and add the uncooked egg noodles, milk, beef stock, mushrooms, cornstarch, salt, pepper and paprika. Stir to combine and cover. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through. 4. Add the sour cream and simmer for 5 more minutes until you have a creamy sauce. Serve immediately. ![Homemade beef stroganoff hamburger helper garnished with parsley](https://www.farmgirlgourmet.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Beef-Stroganoff-Hamburger-Helper-3.jpg) ## Tips for Storing - Refrigerator – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. - Freezer – For best results, freeze the sauce and beef mixture without noodles. Cook fresh noodles when reheating. - Reheating – Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or milk to restore creaminess. - Avoid overcooking noodles – If storing for later, slightly undercook the noodles so they don’t get mushy when reheated. ## FAQs Can I use a different type of meat than ground beef in Beef Stroganoff Hamburger Helper?
