Stroganoff Fake Out

I’ve been trying to use more of the things we have on hand when cooking rather than buying special ingredients.   Last night I made this fake out on Stroganoff.  I served it with left over maple glazed carrots and corn.  I know I shouldn’t use corn and noodles but I was trying to use up stuff in the fridge.
