Recipe: Creamy Beef Stroganoff

There are hundreds of beef stroganoff recipes out there.  This is one I tried this week and really enjoyed!  It uses ground beef for a cheaper alternative.  Who doesn't love this yummy comfort food on a cold December night?


One-Pot Creamy Beef Stroganoff

1 lb. ground beef
2 packages (8 oz. each) sliced mushrooms
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
1 package Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix
1 lb. uncooked medium egg noodles
1 container (12 oz.) sour cream

Cook beef until brown seasoned with salt and pepper - drain.  Saute mushrooms in a dollap of butter.  Mmm!

In a large pot, combine evaporated milk, 4 1/2 cups of hot water and the noodles.  Add beef and mushrooms.  Noodles will not be completely covered at first. Heat to boiling over high heat.  Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently, just until noodles are tender. 

Add ranch seasoning.  Remove from heat.  Stir in sour cream.

  ***You can double the evaporated milk to make extra saucy.
***You can substitute 2 cans of mushrooms for fresh.
***Serve with sour cream and a veggie on the side.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27
