Misfitmorgan's Journal - That Summer Dust

[misfitmorgan]

I use ground meat for my stroganoff. I make it a couple of times a month because we all love it! And I don't use cream of mushroom I use cream of chicken

We love mushrooms....even people who dont like mushrooms like mine. The cream of potato instead of cream of mushroom is surprisingly almost better then the cream of mushroom. Last time i used potato DH said he might actually like it better that way.

Actually stroganoff was the very first recipe I learned and cooked back in the 8th grade and cooked it for my parents and me. As the yrs have past there have been some tweeking, but basically the same.

1 lb ground beef
2 Tbsp of butter
1/2 med chopped onion
2 cloves garlic smashed and chopped
1 sm can of sliced mushrooms
1 5oz can of evaporated milk
3-4 good shakes of worchestershire
1 tsp of better than bouillon
1 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp of flour
1 oz of Sherry
1/2 tsp of thyme leaves or tarragon

Saute onions and garlic in 2 Tbsp of butter until soft...if fresh mushrooms are used they can be done with the onions and garlic. Brown beef and drain add mushroom liquid drained from can, or 1/2 cup of water add bouillon, evaporated milk, worchestershire, sherry, thyme or tarragon, mushrooms, onions, garlic, flour, and sour cream....turn heat to simmer and stir occassionly while noodles are cooking. If the sauce gets too thick, add water from noodles to loosen it up a little. When noodles are done drain and mix with noodles or top portion of noodles with sauce. It is really delicious!!....Joyce doesn't like the sherry in it so it is eliminated and a bit more water is added to keep sauce from being paste. The sauce recipe will work for around the whole bag of noodles, but if more sauce is desired just fix less noodles....

Thanks for the recipes folks! I have saved them (both) for future use. I have made the hamburger helper stroganoff hundreds of times from when my kids were very young. It doesn't taste as good to me now (nor do the other flavors anymore). Not sure if they changed the product somehow or my tastes have just changed with age. It used to be good/simple/fast/filling/tasty to make for the kids and I for dinner. As a single parent, active duty and working 2 jobs, fast and simple was a requirement. Of course I used ground beef. I'd love to try it with small chunks of a tender cut like rib eye... I can imagine it would be incredible. I love mushrooms so... yeah, they'd have to be added.

I don't know if DW would eat that or not. Would for sure have to leave out the mushrooms.

I'm not sure what beef and noodles is....i mean other then literally beef meat and noodles.

Bite-size chunks of roast with egg noodles and a gravy-type juice. I’ll work on that recipe for you!


Edited to add: with enough gravy, it freezes well to be thawed in the fridge and reheated at a later date too! Great for leftovers and something DH can make the kids for supper on a day that I work. I just put it in the fridge the day before.

@misfitmorgan I don't mind mushrooms but if they're squishy and slimy (like in cream of mushroom soup) I won't eat them. I have a problem with squishy foods I can't eat russet potatoes, which is the usual potatoes used in things like cream of potato soup AND, as if that wasn't enough, my daughter and I can't eat gluten so I'm fairly limited on what cream of soups we can eat and that are available. I'm a special case

 

[Latestarter]

No need to duck and cover... lots here are special cases in one manner or another... All good!

My stroganoff recipe is really good, cheap and fast.....it is however not "real" stroganoff, @CntryBoy777 recipe is much closer to a true stroganoff. I mostly make it when i want dinner in 15minutes.

Thank you for sharing the recipe @CntryBoy777 !!

@Bruce I'm starting to wonder if your DW eats anything at all
Try it with cream of potato instead.

Understandable...there are things i dont eat either...like russet potatoes. No problems with squish but i think they taste like nothing. I use yukon gold, or red skin or something in that nature of potatoes. I mostly learned to love mushrooms because they are good for auto-immune. We all have our likes and dislikes.

Yes please!
