Easy Stroganoff

I’m going to tell you right now that if I had done it the exact way this recipe says, it would’ve been bland. So listen here, season your ground beef with your regular seasonings as of you were making spaghetti, add your milk your sour cream your condensed thingy of mushrooms and add your noodles after the meet is done browning, the add a little water. Put a lid over it and stir every couple of minutes so the bottom doesn’t burn. And serve it with garlic bread or whatever you like and eat it. I didn’t use any measuring tools I just know how much liquid it takes to fully cook noodles. And then enjoy!

I was looking forward to this, since I haven't had stroganoff in years, and decided to try this 'shortcut' version. While it was quick to make, it was unfortunately pretty bland. The meat itself was seasoned well, but once everything was mixed together, there was a lack of flavor, more of like a Hamburger Helper-type dish. It could have used a few more ingredients, such as wine, Dijon mustard, parsley and/or onion. I ended up adding quite a bit of fresh-cracked pepper and salt to give it some flavor. I also ended up doubling the meat and the ratio was perfect.

My daughter and I made this. We used fresh baby Bella mushrooms and sautéed them with fresh garlic before adding the beef. We also added pepper, oregano, and onion powder. Everyone loved it!

Tasty, easy, and fast! I used frozen Italian meatballs instead of ground beef. Great weeknight dinner for busy families.
