1 1/2 lbs ground beef

Steps:

In a large skillet brown ground beef (Use 1 to 2 pounds, depending on how meaty you like it) & drain fat. Return beef to skillet, add onions (chop these pretty finely), sliced mushrooms (again, you can use more or less than 8 ounces, depending on what you like) & garlic (more or less to taste), cook until tender. Mix in 1 ½ cups water, 1 teaspoons flour, 2 teaspoons (or cubes) beef bouillon, pepper (to taste),1 can of condensed mushroom soup, 1 can of mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce & ketchup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. While that is cooking, mix together 1 8 oz. package of sour cream, the other teaspoons flour & parsley. Add to beef/mushroom mixture when it's done simmering. Stir very well. Add salt & pepper to taste. If you prefer the sauce to be thinner, stir in small amounts of water until you reach the consistency you prefer. Serve over egg noodles & enjoy!

OLD FASHIONED BEEF STROGANOFF

This is a budget friendly, richly flavored stroganoff that doesn't use creamed soup. Though it does take some time, it is very simple to put together with ingredients you already have in your pantry. You can use whatever mushrooms you have on hand. This is my own recipe and made the way we like it...where no one flavor stands out and it makes a lot of broth. Please feel free to change it up and make it your own.

salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups onions, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter, divided
32 ounces beef broth (I use Swanson's)
1 tablespoon soy sauce, less sodium
6 ounces sliced portobella mushrooms, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 cup sour cream, heaping

Steps:

Cut chuck roast into 1/2" by 2" strips. Lightly salt and pepper. Set aside.

Add beef to pot and brown.
Add beef broth, sauted onion and garlic and soy sauce to pot.
Cover and simmer 1 hour or until beef is very tender.
While beef is simmering, saute mushrooms in 1 tbl. each of butter and oil.
Remove 1/2 cup of broth from pot and set aside.
Add mushrooms and simmer 10 minutes.
Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup reserved broth, stirring with a fork.
Add to pot, stirring until thick and bubbly.

Tips:

For the best results, use a good quality beef broth. You can use store-bought or homemade broth.
If you don't have any dry white wine, you can use a dry sherry or even a light beer.
Don't overcook the beef. It should be cooked through but still tender and juicy.
Serve the beef stroganoff over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Garnish the beef stroganoff with fresh parsley or chives.
