Dear Beef Stroganoff,

It is true. I am not only a wife. But I am a homemaker. It is slowly coming along. And last week I made my first real, everything from scratch dinner. We didn't have it much growing up because my mom didn't love it. I forgot how much I love it. And let me tell you something else. Adam loved it too. It was a huge hit. And he rated it as one of the top meals I have ever made. Which could be due to the fact that I usually make fish tacos, beef tacos, or chicken tacos... or some sort of chicken (I did make some bomb BBQ chicken the other night) dish. So here you have it people. I am REALLY proud of it.

Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients:

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 small clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon butter

1 pound ground beef

2 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1 cup sliced mushrooms (do not use canned)

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Cooked rice or noodles (I use one pack of noodles)

Directions:

Saute onions and garlic in a little butter on a skillet

Stir in meat, flour, and seasoning and saute until meat loses its color

Add mushrooms then soup

Simmer for 10 minutes

Stir in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce and heat; do not boil

Add milk if needed

Serve over rice or noodles

It is a big hit at our home. And I would be making it soon again if I didn't have a list of other things I want to try and make! Hopefully you enjoy it too.

Love,

Deidre
