High Protein Beef Stroganoff
Beef stroganoff is one of those classic, nostalgic dishes for so many of us. I remember my grandmother making a big batch for Sunday supper and my entire family would gather around together to enjoy it. That’s why when we started looking for the best high protein pasta recipes to make, I knew we had to have a high protein Beef Stroganoff dish. Cottage cheese adds a big helping of protein and creaminess to this dish, while some of the classic ingredients like mushrooms, onion, and garlic keep the flavor true to the original flavor.

Blending the cottage cheese in this recipe improves the texture of your sauce and also makes it look more appealing for any picky eaters you may have in your family. They’ll have no idea that anything in this recipe is different from how you “normally” make it. * Wink *
High Protein Beef Stroganoff Recipe Tips:
+ We used egg noodles in this recipe to keep it more traditional, but you could easily substitute your favorite high protein pasta noodle option.
+ Store your leftovers in an airtight container and either warm up back on the stovetop or in the microwave with a wet paper towel over the dish to help the noodles keep a nice texture.
