MEAL PREP SUPPLIES USED

Half size sheet pan – This is the perfect size for 5, 4 cup glass bowls. You can, of course, use a full size sheet pan but your bowls will slide around a little bit more.
STORING INSTRUCTIONS
As with most of my meal prep recipes, you can let these cool, cover with a lid, and store in the fridge for up to 5 days for a quick meal ready to go!
REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS
These Beef Stroganoff Bowls can be reheated at any time! Just microwave them for 2-3 minutes when you’re ready to eat if you are packing these for work or on the go. They can also be reheated in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS
You can also freeze your Beef Stroganoff Bowls with the lids on them, just make sure to let them defrost before warming them up so that the bowls don’t crack.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Shredded Beef Substitutions
Ground Beef is a great substitute for the shredded beef if you already have some on hand that needs used. Approximately 20 ounces of lean, raw ground beef will yield very similar macros.
- Shredded Chicken
- Ground Chicken (link the ground chicken recipe)
- BBQ Chicken
Egg Noodle Substitutions
If you’re looking to substitute egg noodles in these beef stroganoff bowls, there are several options depending on your dietary needs or preferences. Here are some great alternatives:
- Wide Pasta (like pappardelle or fettuccine): These hearty, broad noodles mimic egg noodles in texture and will hold the sauce well.
- Rice: A classic and gluten-free option, rice (especially white or jasmine rice) pairs wonderfully with beef stroganoff’s creamy sauce.
- Mashed Potatoes: For a comforting twist, you can serve the beef stroganoff over creamy mashed potatoes instead of noodles.
- Zucchini Noodles (Zoodles): For a lighter, low-carb alternative, spiralized zucchini works well and soaks up the sauce nicely.
- Cauliflower Rice: Another low-carb, gluten-free substitute, cauliflower rice provides a similar texture to rice and works great with the rich sauce.
- Polenta: If you want to switch things up, creamy polenta offers a smooth, comforting base for the beef stroganoff.
- Quinoa: A nutty-flavored, high-protein substitute that also adds a bit of texture to the dish.
Vegetable Substitutions or Additions
- Carrots – Thinly sliced or grated carrots can bring a bit of sweetness and color.
- Spinach – Fresh spinach wilts into the sauce, adding a nice pop of color and some greens.
- Bell Peppers – Sweet bell peppers can add a bit of crunch and flavor, but keep them thinly sliced to prevent overpowering the dish.
- Zucchini – If you want a lighter option, zucchini can add subtle flavor and texture without being too heavy.
- Peas – Frozen peas work well for a burst of sweetness and color without needing much prep.

Sooo I was short on time and money, and used seasoned ground beef for this instead. I’m not sure how it will differ in protein, but it’s still excellent! Yogurt and cream cheese work great instead of sour cream and heavy cream. I also doubled the mushrooms. Next time I’m going to try it with the recommended beef!
This is SO good. As always, they deliver on flavour. I will make this just as a weeknight meal, or entertaining, let alone a meal prep. It’s nice the option for both is there.
If you are a stroganoff lover, or just enjoy anything with noodles: don’t sleep on this recipe. Top notch meal right here.
Yum! I added balsamic vinegar and rosemary for more flavor.
This is my favorite meal prep so far. My husband and I loved it!
I think you need to amend/correct equipment to read “Five (5) 4cup glass bowls”. As it reads now it sounds like you need Four (4) 1cup glass bowls. Something to consider
Love this new idea. Believe it or not we’ve updated this multiple times trying to make it as clear as a possible. I didn’t realize I could use the word, “Five” and it let me. Thanks!
