Jeff and I lived off of Hamburger Helper when we were in grad school, with negative bank account balances and very little options to feed ourselves. We would wait for the 10 boxes for $5 sale, stock up, then buy frozen ground beef.

Boy, am I glad we’re in a place in our lives where we don’t need to do that. But I can’t help but crave it to this day; there’s something nostalgic about it for me. This is a much healthier version that still tastes delicious and comes together quite quickly.

I’ve been inspired by all of the bubble-up recipes out there, particularly the ones by Emily Bites, Drizzle Me Skinny, and Skinnyish Dish. I was surprised that I couldn’t find a stroganoff version on any of their sites, so here’s my own.

Jeff always said that my Jalapeno Popper Turkey Burgers were his favorite recipe I’ve created so far. Tonight, he said that this Beef Stroganoff Bubble-Up is the new favorite. That is HUGE!

Don’t Like “Dumpling”-Like Dough?

The bits of dough in the bottom end up like a dumpling since they cook in the sauce. I like the combination of dough-like dumplings and brown, crunchy pieces of dough on top. However, if you’re not into the dumpling texture, you can just put all of the dough pieces on top before you bake it.

Does your Meat Mixture turn out too liquid-y?

Make sure you let the meat mixture cool for a few minutes, off of the heat, before you add in the yogurt. When nonfat dairy items like yogurt are added to still-bubbling mixtures, they tend to curdle. If your yogurt curdles, then the sauce will be quite wet and not as creamy.

If the curdling does happen to you, just wait a few more minutes and add in some more yogurt until the mixture thickens.
