And really, there is nothing wrong with any of them. From the tried and true beef recipes made with steak to this current attempt made with pork and peppers....they all taste fine. Not great. Just fine. I am hopelessly addicted to this recipe for stroganoff.....give me cream of mushroom soup and hamburger any day of the week.
I think part of the problem with this was I used too many noodles so the sauce wasn't as thick as I like it. The pork was not a problem and the peppers....I didn't find they added much of anything. But as far as fast, moderately healthy weeknight suppers go...I'll take it. You can find the recipe HERE.
Stay tuned for some great recipes! Thanksgiving is this weekend and I have some pretty great tried and true recipes that I'll be making as well as the world's most amazing turkey gravy!
Stroganoff is a really nice comfort dish. I've only made stroganoff once, flavoring it with star anise for an East Asian twist. I can see why you'd want the sauce thicker, but I'm sure the dish tasted great regardless!
ReplyDeletePalidor - star anise would be a great addition! Yes, it tasted ok...I think I was just looking for something else that night ;)
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of my husbands stroganoff.. gee it sounds dirty when I say it that way. I always try to tweak it ,, he wont let me.. I love when hes bossy.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to read about your tried and true thanksgiving recipes..
Happy Thanksgiving... Love stroganoff, but I do the shit on a shingle thing... no noodles, over toast.
ReplyDeleteA year on the grill - mmm over toast...never tried that.
ReplyDeleteThis is the advantage of being with an american. I can use all your ideas for my feast! :) hope you have a good one, there is so much to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteMy secret ingredient for stroganoff is Worcestershire sauce. But I agree with you - most published recipes have too much noodles to sauce ratio.
ReplyDeleteI've never had any stroganoff so I can't really help with that.
ReplyDeleteIt might be that you just weren't in the mood for it. There are days like that.
The stroganoff looks good! I've tried different recipes over the years, but always go back to our favorite one! Looking forward to seeing some recipes for Thanksgiving. Are you adding the bourbon?
ReplyDeleteI STILL have not tried stroganoff...crazy, huh?!? It always looks so good!!!
ReplyDeleteI consider stroganoff too dangerous to make for myself!
ReplyDeleteI love stroganoff!! My husband not so much. I wait till he has to go out of town and then bring out my stroganoff recipes!! Your stroganoff looks YUMMY!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks good to me! That's the kinda comfort food I enjoy when it's cool. I'm jealous...we've had record breaking heat and I guess I'll save this one for later.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving coming up for you!
Taste - do you find it easy to get turkey in Germany? I remember my grandpa telling me how rare it was to eat turkey in Holland.
ReplyDeleteNatashya - mmmmm love the addition of Worcestershire!
Dajana - yep...there's days where even coffee tastes like crap.
Mom - of course there will be bourbon!
Rachel - really?? You should totally try it - perfect comfort food.
Wandering - the cheap soup version is one of the only meals I ever go back for seconds on.
Ginger - lol...I eat a lot of cooked tomatoes when hubby is out for the evening.
Pierce - um....I have a bit of unmelted snow on the grass and frost on my truck this a.m. I'm thinking your record breaking heatwaves means I'm shipping me and the bike to you!
I just sent you an email about a bike :-)
ReplyDeleteJust in case you're up to trying another one ... I have a recipe for something that is similar to Stroganoff, called No Peek Casserole. Crazy easy and soooo good...
ReplyDeleteCate - is it on your blog? I'd love to try that.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever made a stroganoff... ummm... unless Hamburger Helper counts!
