BEEF STROGANOFF WITH GROUND BEEF

OK, I am NOT a fan of Beef Stroganoff. Never have been. I like the meat idea, and the noodle idea, but the mayo & sour cream?? 

Doesn't sound too good to me.

However, I am trying to broaden my horizons and my friend likes Beef Stroganoff, so I thought I would try this out.

And I was reminded by my lovely bride that she has made this for me in the past and I liked it. (It was a very different recipe)

Obviously, I never noticed the white glob of goo mixed in with the beef.

But what the hell, my friend is coming over for our Wednesday dinner so I forged right ahead.

Here's what you'll need

1 Pound Ground Beef

½ Cup chopped Onions

1 (4.5 OZ) Can drained Mushrooms

½ TSP Garlic Salt

½ TSP Mustard Powder

½ Cup Sour Cream (I used Paisley brand)

½ Cup Mayonnaise

½ Cup Beef Broth

8 OZ of Wide Egg Noodles

Let's get the party started

Break up ground beef into a large skillet

Add onion, mushrooms, garlic powder, & mustard powder

Cook and stir over medium heat until the meat is brown and onions are tender

So far, so good

Drain off excess fat

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayo and beef broth

You might want to use a bigger bowl.

Stir into bowl mixture and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes.

I don't know about this. Does not look too appetizing.

Do NOT stir too much.

OK, it's looking a little better now.

 Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until done.

Drain noodles

Serve meat mixture over hot noodles.

OK, I have to admit that this was NOT my favorite meal. I thought the beef mixture was a bit greasy. And the taste ?? Not too sure about that either. But it was edible.

This was perhaps the quickest meal I have made. It makes makes for a great after work dinner if you are in a hurry. (30 minutes total time)

Serve with a veggie, and a nice salad. Perhaps a hot roll.

And Ice Cream for desert.

So, my quest for great Beef Stroganoff continues. Penny says I can borrow her recipe next time.

However, my friend LOVED it.

But he eats anything.

 See you next time for MEATLOAF

NO, NOT that Meatloaf
