Good question. Usually milk products, such as sour cream, separate and appear curdled after freezing
and defrosting. Let us know. Nancree

I believe you can. The milk products are cooked so there should be no problem. Someone correct me if
I am wrong-but tell me why as well.

When I tried, the result was really gicky. Sort of white stuff with a lot of water. The last time I
made stroganoff, I froze it just prior to the addition of sour cream; then added that when I thawed
it out. I nearly always have sour cream around, more's the pity. :-)

I've done it many times, with homogenized commercial sour cream, and have had no problems at all
with curdling or anything else.

If you're of the school that makes the stew by itself and adds the sour cream at the table (as I
am), it freezes just fine.

Once you've added the sour cream, though, freezing is safe but ugly, because the sour cream will not
thaw nicely.

before adding the sour cream you could freeze some. A GF used to freeze is after. She said, looks
bad, tastes fine. I eat with my eyes though so I passed.

Yes, but do you drink with your eyes?
