Easy Beefy Stroganoff(y)

Ever since my friend Elaine made me Beef Stroganoff for dinner a few weeks ago, I have been craving it relentlessly. So, on a quick trip to the market to pick up prescriptions, I also grabbed the ingredients for this simple, but delicious Beef Stroganoff.

Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients:
- 1lb browned, drained ground beef (I cook mine up ahead of time and freeze it in 1lb batches)
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (I used baby portabella, but white mushrooms would work fine too)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 16 ounces sour cream (I use low fat)
- 2 beef bouillon cubes , dissolved in about 1/4 cup hot water. (I actually prefer Better than Bouillon, no dissolving necessary)
- 12 ounce package of wide flat noodles, prepared per package instructions (I used whole grain, but egg noodles would work well too)

Directions:
- Using a large pan, saute onion and mushrooms in butter or oil until onion is translucent and mushroom is becoming limp. Add garlic and saute for another couple minutes.
- Add ground beef, sour cream and bouillon. Stir until well mixed and cook on medium/low heat until hot throughout.
- Spoon over noodles and enjoy!

Serves 4-6.

I love the idea of whole wheat noodles. My family only eats them when I serve with a good sauce. If they can taste the noodle they balk. I bet this recipe would mask the taste nicely. Thank!

Made this tonight - and it was another crowd pleaser! Mom and Dad came to visit - loved it, and husband liked it so much he ate about 3 servings.

I did try a new product - rather than the bullion you suggested, I used the new Knorr's concentrated beef broth and dropped it right in with the sour cream. I think it really was a nice touch.

I also used a white truffle and garlic olive oil to sautee the onions.

I must say - this dish was amazing.
