family fave.

When we were in Christmas for Thanksgiving, my mother-in-law gave me some of the recipes she used to make for AJ.

AJ is a pretty sentimental guy, and he absolutely loves when I try to recreate some of his favorites from growing up. This one is a ground beef stroganoff:
I feel like I take a lot of pictures VERY similar to this one :)


Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup fat free sour cream
  • 1 package egg noodles


Recipe:

  1. Put a big pot of water on the stove. Turn heat to high.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet (medium-high heat) and add the onions. Cook until caramelized and soft. Add the ground beef and cook. Drain the meat when fully cooked.
  3. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and add a small can of mushrooms if you want. (We didn't have any... otherwise, I would have)
  4. At this point, put your noodles in the hot water!
  5. Cook several minutes and then add the soup and 1/4 cup water. Simmer 10 minutes. You may need to add more water. It should be like a stew.
  6. Add sour cream. Heat JUST until boiling and remove from eat.
  7. Serve over noodles.
