We've had some crazy chaos lately so I've gotten really behind with the updating. In fact, I think I've actually somehow lost track. So yeah, it may end up being 363 days instead of 365. I'll try to catch up again somewhere.
Today's recipe: Stroganoff. If you're like me, you have a couple of ziploc bags of ground meat in the freezer at all times. Each bag has about 1 pound. First, boil some water and throw in some egg noodles. These are the cheap yellow noodles usually found at the very bottom shelf of the supermarket. I only use them for this recipe. I'm sure you could try some whole grain pasta or something to be healthy, but I've never tried it with this recipe. I'm old-school. The noodles should boil for about 10 minutes. Just pull one out and taste it and when they are done, drain them and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, throw a pound of ground beef/turkey/pork/whatever in a large skillet. It doesn't need to be thawed. On medium high heat, watch it and turn it over every once and a while, scraping the cooked side with a fork to crumble the meat. Once it's cooked through, you can drain the fat or leave it. I always leave it because I like my meals to be more flavorful, plus I buy 85 ground beef anyway. Don't get 90 or 95, it's pretty bland- You might as well get ground turkey. Anyway, season it with a liberal amount of cajun seasoning (Tony's, etc) and then stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup. I like to add a can of mushrooms as well. To give it some green, I've added spinach before too. It really didn't change the flavor or anything so it's a good way to sneak in a vegetable serving!
Put some noodles on a plate, top with the stroganoff and you're ready to eat. You can add a dollop of sour cream to each plate if you like too. It gives it an even creamier texture and a more savory flavor though it's good without too.
