Mushroom Stroganoff ~ Meatless Monday

Meatless Monday! Yes, I know this is actually posting on Tuesday but it is truly an any day meal. When some people envision meatless, they think "hunger, light, un-filling", maybe even "bland". With this recipe that is not the case. Ask my hubby! He really loved this mushroom stroganoff & had two heaping bowls full of it. Mushrooms are a great alternative to meat because of their texture & "meaty" woodsy flavor. If you like shrooms, give this a go.
