MILLIE'S BEEF AND POTATO STROGANOFF

Steps:

• 1. Cover dehydrated potatoes with lukewarm water about 2 or 3 inches above potatoes, one hour before using. This will rehydrate them. (you can used fresh sliced potatoes, but you will have to alter cook time and maybe reduce beef broth)
• 2. Dice carrots and onions and measure out ingredients.
• 3. In large pot, lightly salt and pepper ground beef and brown till pink is gone. Drain and set aside.
• 4. In same pot add 2 tbsp. olive oil then sauté onion and carrot for 2-3 minutes or till onion is transparent. Now add minced garlic and lightly salt and pepper and sauté 1 more minute.
• 5. Now add the beef broth (remember to save 1/2 cup), ground beef, strained rehydrated potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to taste, and green peas. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 25 minutes.
• 6. Increase heat and bring to good boil, then add the cornstarch to the remaining broth with a small whisk or fork and pour this slurry into the pot. Boil for a minute to thicken, then turn off the heat and add sour cream, stir. Let set for a minute or two if it is not thickened good. It will thicken up some as it sets.
