Ground Beef Stroganoff
This looks like something I gleaned from the Internet by checking several sites for the same recipe and picking the best of all the recipes (a.k.a. the ingredients I had in the fridge). Therefore, all I had were the ingredients and none of the directions... For myself, I cooked the mushrooms and onions and crumbled a veggie patty in there...
Beef Stroganoff
1 Tbs butter
4-5 medium mushrooms, sliced
1/4 of a medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
beef
1 C bullion
1 tsp flour
1/4 C sour cream
salt and pepper
This is how I cooked it:
For starters, I used a box of mushrooms instead of just 4 or 5. I sauteed the mushrooms, onions, and garlic in the butter. At this point, I separated a portion for myself and added a veggie burger. To the rest, I added 1 lb ground beef. Once the beef was mostly done, I added the bullion. (I used vegetable stock.) Then, I stirred in the flour and cooked it till the gravy thickened. I added salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, I stirred in the sour cream. It went beautifully with whole wheat egg noodles.
Review:
Hubby was very pleased. I asked him if I could have added anything and he said no. So I'm taking his word for it. Boy 1 said, "I like the beef!" (mostly because we told him he couldn't have a push-up pop if he didn't eat his dinner). Boy 2 ate one noodle. Mine was entirely edible. It's a keeper!
(PS, some people say you can't have a proper stroganoff without tomato paste. I don't know, I've never tried it, but there you go. Add a spoonful and see what you think!)
