I grew up on Hambuer Helper and cream of watever soup..I had no clue that Beef Stroganoff could be made at home without a can..lol The original recipe calls for steak but in this day and age hamburger is more in our price range. We love it because it's fancy at a more affordable price. Serve it along side a sald and garlic bread and you are set!


Beef Stroganoff..Serves 4
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 8ounce(1cup) container of Sour Cream
2 TB Flour
1/2 cup Water
2 tsp. Instant Beef Bouillon Granules
1/4 tsp. Pepper
2 TBL Butter or Margarine; Optional
1-1/2 cups Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
1/2 cup Onion; Chopped
1 Garlic Clove; Minced
Hot cooked Noodles or Rice

The butter in this recipe was to be used to brown the steak with and I left it out. In a bowl combine the sour cream and flour. Stir in water, bouillon, and pepper; Set Aside.

In a large skillet brown the beef,mushrooms and onions; Cook until done and drain any remaining fat. Stir sour cream mixture into the beef mixture and cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Serve over egg noodles or rice.

Salt and Pepper

Whisk together the garlic,lemon juice, vinegar, oil, yogurt, and oregano in a bowl. Add the chicken and rub marinade in. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat large skillet or grill over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, saute until cooked. Transfer to plate and cool slightly,slice chicken into pieces. Heat Pitas or gyros and stuff with chicken,tomatoes,onions and sauce.

** Ok on to my changes. I went ahead and chopped up all the chicken into bite sized pieces and then marinated it. I left out the onions and instead added in lettuce to make the meal go farther. Serve with a side of salad.**
