Notes
What If My Sauce Is Too Runny or Too Thick?To thicken your gravy you can always make a roux out of extra flour and a little bit of water. Add this mixture to your sauce and the stroganoff should thicken right up. If you have the opposite problem and your gravy seems a little too thick, add more sour cream and mix until nice and smooth. This will help thin things out!
