Hamburger Stroganoff

Stroganoff is one of my all time favorites. I make a Kick Ass version myself. It's not the lightest of meals, but once in a while it's a great comfort food dish.

Cooking Light has a Hamburger Stroganoff recipe that I've been "watching". It's easy and frankly quite delicious for a "light" recipe.

Here's the deal though...this serving...not the right size,

 

Turns out the serving size is 1/2 c stroganoff with 2/3 c noodles. That, my friends is probably double.

If you don't care about calories, I say eat on. If you do care about calories, Portion control baby.
