Old Fashioned Eating

This recipe was another replacement for a staple for me growing up: the pre-packaged beef stroganoff. 

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon beef bouillon
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 4 ounces mushroom stems and pieces, drained
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups noodles or rice, cooked
• 3 tablespoons unbleached flour

Directions:

1. Cook and stir the meat, onion, and garlic in a large skillet until the meat is brown.  Drain off the excess fat.
2.  Mix in the flour, bouillon, salt, pepper and the can of mushroom stems and pieces. Stir in the water and heat to boiling, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
3. Stir in the sour cream and heat until just hot.
4. Serve over the noodles or rice, if desired, and garnish with chopped parsley, if you wish.
