Notes
Storage:Meatball stroganoff can be tightly covered with plastic wrap, or placed in an airtight container, and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.I don't recommend freezing - the texture suffers.Expert Tips
You may need to add more liquid while the meatballs simmer. Beef broth, water, or a little milk works fine. Don't let them go dry and stick to the bottom
No need to thaw frozen meatballs - just dump them right in frozen.
You can use cooked ground beef or sliced round roast if you prefer.
Use a can of French onion soup instead of the beef broth for more oniony flavor.
Make this a one pot meal: add the egg noodles to the beef stock when you place meatballs in the pan. You'll want to add an extra cup of beef stock and keep an eye on it so the pan doesn't go dry. I just like the noodles better when they are cooked separately.
