Stroganoff

A simple recipe made easier; my 12 year old ate it, and compared it favorably to Hamburger Helper stroganoff. What more could we want?

Stroganoff, can make with beef, chicken, hamburger, tofu, boca burger, lamb, meat, etc., or no meat or tofu at all.

Need:

1 TBSP. butter or Margarine
1 TBSP. flour for the rue
Add about 2TBSP brandy

About 3TBSP sour cream, or add to rue to desired consistency
one can, 8-12 oz. french onion soup [or add her own homemade soup]
1 c. green peas, canned, fresh cooked, or frozen, or other vegetables and/or mushrooms.
1 TBSP parsley
About 1.5 c of meat or tofu, see above. I used chopped up deli roast beef I bought whole sale. It was excellent.

Make the rue, mix butter and flour, take off low heat and mix to a paste. Don't let it burn. Add the sour cream, return to very low heat, stir constantly. Take off heat. Add the brandy and stir well. Add the soup, return to low to medium heat; gradually bring to a boil, stir well, and reduce heat. Add the meant or tofu and then the vegetables. Stir well. Add the peas. Let simmer about ten minutes. Serve over boiled noodles, rice, potatoes, rotini, or other pasta. It's great with take and bake bread, especially crusty French or Italian bread. If you use hamburger or stir fry meat, sautee and drain first, then add to sauce mixture.
