OT: Sour cream substitute please. .

I have a beef stroganoff recipe that I have used and loved forever. Beef, mushrooms, onions, beef broth, ok so far. . .  and then it calls for 1 cup sour cream added to the end. I have used light and non fat. What about vanilla yogurt? I've heard people talk about using that in place of more fattening things.  Suggestions please?

I saw your thread and thought first thing about the yogurt. I know that a lot of recipes call for that in replacement of sour cream. If you try it let me know how it turns out. Wish you luck on it.

Instead of vanilla yogurt, just use plain nonfat yogurt, no flavor. I have tried it and it works just fine.

if your going to use yogurt I would suggest the plain

Karen, Usually the vanilla yogurt is sweet which might drastically alter the flavor of your stroganoff. Have you tried the plain FAGE yogurt yet? That might work well if you don't want to use non fat sour cream. Annette

I use the fat free plain yogurt in mine and nobody knew it.  I serve the sauce on the side because I don't eat the noodles,  it is yummy!  It's great on tacos too.

Since everyone advised you to use the plain and not the vanilla yogurt, I won't.  However, I would like the recipe!

 Connie, this is the orginal recipe. I used plain yogurt in place of the sour cream. I still used the butter (my bad)
