Beef Stroganoff - Oct 7, 2009


Beef Stroganoff over Egg Papparadelle


Button Mushrooms

Nick's Aunt Judy (a wonderful and inspirational cook) sent us this recipe over the summer after we requested it based on rave reviews from Nick's dad. Now that it is officially fall here, it was time to make it. I had never made stroganoff before, but this seemed to be a very simple preparation. Just mushrooms, onions and beef in a healthy portion of butter. The seasonings come from prepared horseradish and a secret weapon called Heinz chili sauce. The directions call to add a cup of sour cream right before serving, but I improvised and used some of my homemade whole milk yogurt, made extra thick by draining off some of the whey. Also, we took a vote and decided to serve over egg noodles instead of rice. Yum! This recipe will officially be classified as 'naughty' at our house due to the red meat and heavy dairy, and thus will be made sparingly for a treat. We made sure to drink some heart healthy red wine along with it to balance things out a bit.
