Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5\u20136 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.<\/li>\n<li>Mix in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.<\/li>\n<li>Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the uncooked egg noodles, stir well, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 8\u201310 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.<\/li>\n<li>While the noodles cook, blend the cottage cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the skillet from the heat. Let it cool for 2 minutes, then gently stir in the cottage cheese mixture until fully combined. This keeps the sauce silky and prevents curdling.<\/li>\n<li>Fold in the chopped parsley and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Garnish with extra parsley and serve hot with garlic bread, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Add a splash of beef broth if the sauce becomes too thick.<\/li>\n<li>For extra flavor, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan before serving.<\/li>\n<li>Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully over low heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Cook Time:<\/strong> 25 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Total Time:<\/strong> 35 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Servings:<\/strong> 4\u20136<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creamy Cottage Cheese Beef Stroganoff Skillet Savory Ground Beef, Tender Egg Noodles &amp; a Rich, Creamy Cottage Cheese Sauce \u2014&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6934,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6933"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6933\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6935,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6933\/revisions\/6935"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
