Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups White mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 pound Imitation crab, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 12 ounces Wide egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and release their juices.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to lightly brown.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Add the imitation crab to the skillet and gently stir to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the crab to heat through.

Step 8

Serve the fake crab stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
