Stroganoff

I just realized that I have never posted this recipe. It is one of the top favorites in our house. It is simple and calls for ingredients that are a staple in most kitchens. My sister shared this recipe with me at my bridal shower 5 1/2 years ago.

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can condensed beef broth
1 c. water
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
3 c. uncooked pasta (I recommend campanelle, but anything with lots of ridges will work well)
1/2 c. sour cream

Combine soup, broth, water, and worcestershire. Heat to a boil, stir in pasta. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 15 minutes or until pasta is done, stirring often. Stir in sour cream and heat through.


My tips: Add a pound of browned ground beef for the last few minutes of cooking. Prefer meatballs? Add cooked meatballs for the last few minutes of cooking.

Personal note: I have NEVER used a can of condensed beef broth. I never buy it, so it's never in the house. Instead, I increase the water to 2 1/4 c, and add about a Tbs of Beef boulion granules. We also like it extra creamy so I am sure I use about a cup of Sour Cream.

This is a family favorite and one of those recipes that after you make it a few times, you just kind of stop measuring everything and do it all to taste. I recommend serving with warm rolls and green beans.
