With currently doing Weight Watchers, I have started to look at some of my favorite recipes and making some healthier swaps so I can still enjoy those recipes. Today, I am sharing my lighter ground beef stroganoff recipe. I have several that I love, but this version is the one that work best to lighten up.
My goal when I lighten up a recipe is to still keep the same taste. I want my family to have no clue that I lightened up the recipe. I totally succeeded with this version. Both my husband and daughter thought it was my standard stroganoff recipe. This recipe could be made even more WW personal point friendly, but I don’t want to sacrifice the flavor.
I kept the same regular egg noodles. This is a way that you could reduce the points even more if you opt for a gluten free option or whole wheat version. Next, I used light sour cream. This lowers the fat content significantly. You could lower it even more by using a fat free sour cream or 0% Greek yogurt.
Another swap I made was using a 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup. This reduces the whole recipe by 3 points. You also need to be sure your beef in the 95% lean. That swap will also reduce the entire recipe by 9 points. After all my swaps, this recipe come out to be 10 WW Personal Points per serving. The original recipe is 15 points per serving.

It will only work if you have a weight watchers account to get you personal points. However, I have included the recipe and what personal points were for the recipe in the post.
