MOM'S STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Dredge the meat chunks lightly in flour and stir in pan over medium heat until browned, but not cooked all the way through. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the meat from the pan, and drain on a paper towel. Move the meat into large crock pot, and add the onion soup. Cook on High for about four hours, then reduce temperature to Low.
• If you are using fresh mushroom, add to pot at the midpoint of cooking time. If using canned mushrooms, add 1 hour before serving.
• About 15 minutes before serving, stir sour cream and 3-4 tablespoons of flour together. Mix well. Whisk the sour cream a little at a time into the pot and allow to cook another 15 minutes.

MOM'S BEEF STROGANOFF RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre-heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef and cook till browned, about 5 minutes.
• Skim fat and then add butter, onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook till beef is well browned and onions are translucent, stirring often, about 5-7 minutes.
• Add water, sherry, lemon juice, bouillon cube(s). Cook till all the liquid is gone, stirring frequently. Mom's tip: be sure to wait till all the liquid is gone before moving to the next step or the sauce will be too liquidy.
• Turn off heat, add sour cream, and stir till well combined.
• Serve over pasta or rice. Top with parsley and paprika, if using. Serve with a vegetable, too - I like steamed broccoli with a drizzle of melted butter.

MOM'S OLD-FASHIONED BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In a large skillet brown ground beef (Use 1 to 2 pounds, depending on how meaty you like it) & drain fat. Return beef to skillet, add onions (chop these pretty finely), sliced mushrooms (again, you can use more or less than 8 ounces, depending on what you like) & garlic (more or less to taste), cook until tender. Mix in 1 ½ cups water, 1 teaspoons flour, 2 teaspoons (or cubes) beef bouillon, pepper (to taste),1 can of condensed mushroom soup, 1 can of mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce & ketchup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. While that is cooking, mix together 1 8 oz. package of sour cream, the other teaspoons flour & parsley. Add to beef/mushroom mixture when it's done simmering. Stir very well. Add salt & pepper to taste. If you prefer the sauce to be thinner, stir in small amounts of water until you reach the consistency you prefer. Serve over egg noodles & enjoy!
