- Serve it with rice or mashed potatoes instead of egg noodles.

Refrigerator Storage: Let the beef stroganoff cool before transferring it to an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Freezer Storage: Store it in a tightly sealed freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. If the sauce separates when thawed, just stir together well and add more yogurt, fat-free half and half, or fat-free milk.
Reheat: When ready to eat, defrost overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop or microwave
