Beef stroganoff is one of my family's all time favorite meals at dinner time. My family requests it for birthdays or special occasions. They're crazy about it. I've used the same recipe for over twenty years now. It's a simple recipe that uses simple every day ingredients.

This beef stroganoff recipe is unique because it's a low fat version of the more common beef stroganoff recipes. Sour cream is substituted with plain yogurt. The plain yogurt gives it tangy, fresh flavor that excites the taste buds. This delicious beef stroganoff is low in fat, but big on taste.

Try this simple beef stroganoff recipe today. It might just become your family's favorite dinner time meal, too.
