Recipe: Beef Stroganoff

My Recipe for Beef Stroganoff

½ c. dried mushrooms (can use fresh, but I’m not sure how much)
2 c. water
½ Onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 c. beef broth
1 c. cooked beef (I usually use leftover roast, but hamburger works, too, just use 1 lb.)
16 oz sour cream
Milk
Cornstarch
16 oz Egg Noodles
Combine dried mushrooms, water, onion, and garlic (you can also add parsley, thyme, rosemary and/or leeks, if you wish), bring to a boil, turn down and simmer, covered, for an hour. If your kids won’t eat mushrooms (mine won’t), strain them out once the mushroom broth is done cooking. Combine mushroom broth, beef broth, and beef, let simmer while you heat the water for the noodles. Once the noodles are done, drain them, then use milk and cornstarch to thicken the beef/mushroom broth. Stir in the sour cream, then add the egg noodles.
I usually serve this with some type of bean, a veggie, and bread.
