I made a large batch of beef stroganoff. I fear I'll get sick of it before I can finish it off. Can it be frozen (not the noodles, just the sauce)? -Jen Half the people you know are below average. -Steven Wright

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

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. N.

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. -- Chris Green
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. -- Laura GAYLAN FOR PRESIDENT!
