Mushroom Stroganoff is a quick and easy meal for Meatless Mondays. Use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth for a delicious vegetarian meal. Any leftovers make an amazing mushroom sauce for all sorts of things.

Instructions
Whisk together 1 ¾ cups of chicken broth and Dijon mustard. Set aside. Whisk together the sour cream and remaining ¼ cup of chicken broth. Set aside. (See Tip 3)
Heat butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onions; cook stirring occasionally until onions become tender, about 10 minutes. Do not brown.
Add mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms have browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, salt, thyme, and pepper; cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add flour; stir to combine. Cook for a minute or two until the flour has browned.
Add chicken broth/Dijon mustard mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and is bubbly, about 4 minutes.
Add sour cream/chicken broth mixture to the mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is well combined.
Remove from heat; add Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Correct the seasonings. Garnish with minced fresh parsley if desired.
Serve over egg noodles or the pasta of your choice. Yield: 6 servings.

Tips/Notes
I used low-fat sour cream in this recipe.
You could also use white button mushrooms instead of the Cremini mushrooms, or a mixture of the two types of mushrooms.
Sour cream tends to curdle when added to hot liquids. To minimize curdling, I mix the sour cream with about ¼ cup of liquid before adding it to the hot liquid. You could also "temper" the sour cream by mixing it with about ¼ cup of the hot liquid before adding it to the dish.
