Anneli’s Stroganoff

I love making this recipe as 2nd meal if we have pot roast some night. It’s really simple and really tasty!

Ingredients:

• 1-2lbs. Beef Stew Meat
• 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 pkg. Lipton Onion Soup Mix
• 1 cup of Sour Cream
• Noodles of choice (I like egg noodles)

Directions:

1. Combine beef, cream of mushroom soup and onion soup mix in a crock pot and cook 4-6 hours
2. Right before serving add sour cream
3. Serve over noodles

Variations:
French Dip:

• Cook meat (often a roast) with Lipton Onion Soup Mix and 1 can of water.
• Serve as French Dip sandwiches the first night and use leftover meat and au jus to make stroganoff for next meal
• For stroganoff just add soup to the meat and juice (may need to add a little flour to thicken)
• Then add sour cream
• Serve over noodles

Roast:

• Cook meat with Lipton Onion Soup Mix and 1 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup (can also add other spices if desired)
• Serve as roast for first meal and use leftover meat and au jus for stroganoff
• Add sour cream for stroganoff
• Serve over noodles.

Ta-Da!!
lots of different choices out of 1 crockpot

Fettuccine Alfredo #1

One of the many recipes I have been exposed to for homemade Alfredo sauce. They all have the basics with some slight variation to them. So you can decide which is your favorite!

Ingredients:

• 1 Package of Fettuccine
• 1/2 Cup of Parmesan Cheese
• 1/2 Cup of Butter
• 2/3 Cup of Light Cream or Sour Cream (I’m pretty sure I used the sour cream cause that’s what we had on hand)

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to package direction.
2. Melt butter in microwave.
3. With a whisk, add Parmesan cheese and light cream. Whisk together very well.
4. Pour sauce over hot pasta and toss to coat well.
5. Serve with addition Parmesan cheese. (Variation: Add a tablespoon or two of pesto before pouring over pasta.)

If I’m feeling like my little family is slacking on some good vitamins {which they always are I’m sure}, I like to add chicken, broccoli or mushrooms to the mix.

YUM!
