Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet, about 10” (25 cm), over medium heat. Saute for 8-10 minutes, or until the onions are tender and translucent.
- Add the ground beef, and fry for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Stir in the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened.
- Add the crumbled blue cheese and sour cream, stirring together until combined. Increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a light boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Prepare the zucchini fettuccini.
- Cut off the ends of each zucchini, and then slice in half, length-wise. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Use a vegetable peeler, or a spiralizer, to create thin, fettuccini-like noodles.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the zucchini noodles, and parboil for 1 minute. Drain in a colander and then move to a serving platter. Add the olive oil or butter, toss together, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For serving, plate the zucchini noodles and top with the beef stroganoff.

Tip
Switch it up a little! Shredded chicken makes a great substitute for ground beef.

Embrace the bacon, nuts, avocado, coconut butter, olives,...keep the carbs low, get your natural fats high up, and your sugar cravings will go away.
Admit it, girl....you are a sugar addict. Come clean...get the sugar out of your life. Get the sweet taste out of your life. Start to try to enjoy other flavors...like full fat cream in coffee...or just plain herbal tea without anything else.
I'm going to a get together in a couple of days. They're having pizza. Should I just eat the toppings?
Input appreciated.
Yes, the topping should normally be OK...avoid the rest. :)
I used just half tbsp of thyme and Greek yogurt mix with cream instead of sour cream because I didn't have available at home.
No extra salt, the feta cheese has enough for my taste.
This recipe makes 4 servings, weight of the servings can vary depending on how much or how little the ingredients cook down.
Because they would interfere with the "noodle" texture.
You could try goat cheese or cheddar. If you want a stronger flavor, you could also try using feta.
