A few people have asked me to post some EASY dinner recipes, and I think these fit the bill!
Today we had Beef Stroganoff, and I think I finally got it right! I've been tweaking this recipe awhile now to get it to taste how I believed it should, and I'm finally happy with it!
Beef Stroganoff 1 lb ground beef 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (I cheated and used 2 cans this time, it was all I had) 1/4 an onion diced (the original recipe called for 2 onions, but my children would never go for that, go ahead and add more if your would!) 3 cloves minced garlic 3 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup unbleached flour 1 can beef broth 2 teaspoons worcestershire 1 cup sour cream salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley cooked egg noodles (about 3 cups)
Brown the ground beef with salt (dont skimp on it), pepper, garlic powder, parsley and the onion. When it is just about cooked add the garlic, butter and mushrooms.Stir in the flour until it is pasty, then stir in the beef broth and worcestershire sauce. Heat to a boil then simmer until it is a nice gravy. Turn off heat and incorporate sour cream, then pour over noodles.
15 minute alfredo (My husband hates alfredo so this is a treat for the boys when he is gone) 1 8 oz package of cream cheese 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 1/2 cup milk 1 8 oz package of fettuccine noodles, cooked 1/4-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg Just heat it all up in a small saucepan stirring often and pour over noodles.
Chicken Enchiladas This is not my normal recipe (which Peter wont let me mess with) but it was really good and super easy!
2 cups shredded chicken (I used 2 chicken breasts cooked in just enough salsa to cover them. You can do this in a saute pan or in a crock pot in advance, then let it cool before shredding) 1 cup sour cream 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar optional- diced green chiles to taste Mix together. Warm corn tortillas however you normally do (we use the stove flame) and fill with the chicken mixture and place into a 9x13 baking dish. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top (since we didnt fry the tortillas first) and cover with a large can of ROSARITA enchilada sauce (that is my secret, it MUST be Rosarita sauce). Make sure no tortilla is left dry and sprinkle with some more cheddar cheese, chopped green onion and sliced black olives. Bake at 400 about 10-15 minutes
Hope those help someone out! Nothing fancy, but fairly quick and easy!
