Beef Stroganoff
Ultimate Beef Stroganoff
24 Hour Menu
This meal is in my top 10, maybe even my top 5! It is incredibly good and I crave it. So we just had it for dinner.
My kitchen has been over worked since discovering a fantastic food blog, My Kitchen Cafe.
In fact, stop reading this and put it on your google readers right now, you will thank me.
Melanie knows what she is doing! Ive loved every recipe Ive tried!
Okay, Stroganoff talk....Make it, it wont disappoint.
The Ultimate Beef Stroganoff
Put in crock pot:
2-3 pounds stew meat
1 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
1 onion, sliced
Mix in a bowl and pour over meat:
¼ tsp. garlic salt
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ cups beef broth or stock (made up from cubes or granules)
1 tablespoon ketchup
Cook in crock pot on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. When cooked make a simple roux by whisking 1/3 cup flour with enough apple juice (about 5-6 tablespoons) to make a thick but still pourable flour mixture. Whisk the roux into the crock pot and add 4 ounces sliced mushrooms.
Cook on high for 15-30 minutes. Then stir in ½ cup sour cream. Serve over pasta, rice or baked potatoes (pasta is my favorite option!).

I am not a big sweet potato or yam fan...i just really don't like it when veggies taste sweet; unfortunately they are ridiculously good for you! so i was searching for a good recipe i would like when i stumbled onto this one in running magazine. These "fries" were delicious, good for you, and very easy to prepare.1-2 tbps veggie or canola oil (depending on how many potatoes you use)1 large diced sweet potato (this was plenty for one person, the original recipe suggests four)seasoning (i used garlic salt, rosemary, and allspice...you can essentially use whatever you like, but the recipe called for rosemary and paprika)heat oven to 375 Fcoat diced potatoes in oil and seasoningspread out on cooking sheet and cook for 20-30 minutes depending on size of friesI flipped the fries periodically and they did stick to the pan a bit, so if you want to line the pan with foil, parchment paper or spray that would help.
