beef stroganoff

Picture did not get taken today. I was too hungry and food smelled too good.

Now that we got that out of the way. I made beef stroganoff. I began by looking online for a recipe. I thought many sounded good, but none perfect. So as I have been  doing lately, I made my own recipe. I began with ground beef instead of shredded beef. I browned it with no seasoning, I know I am hearing gasps all over the cyber world right now. After the beef was browned I drained the drippings off. Drippings I have learned is just a nice word for fat. Well, with the drippings gone, I added half and half. Brought that to a boil, added lots of seasonings, until I liked the flavor. Then I added some sour cream and just a touch of heavy cream. Again boiled it and and added angel hair pasta. I covered it and cooked it for about three minutes.

The beef has sucked up much of the cream and flavors. The pasta is now infused with the flavor also.

Stroganoff always looks a little iffy to me. It never looks tasty, but based just on looks I would have been SO very wrong. It was delicious. Both kids took seconds and Rougeh did also. We loved this meal and it was so easy.

Another thing I will make again.

Yah for successes.
