Silky , smooth and velvety sauce poured over buttery egg noodles and served with a salad along side ! This was perfect on a cool fall day !!! I used the ketchup (out of tomato paste) and the sauce was the best we have had in a long time ! Thank You for sharing your recipe Caryn !

This is my FAVORITE recipe from this cookbook that I have in paperback that I inherited from my Mother. This is a hit every time!!

This is a very good recipe to use as a base for this dish. We then used fresh mushrooms, less onion and sour cream, and more beef broth. Also, we mixed a teaspoon of concentrated tomato paste with a drop or two of worchestershire sauce and some beef broth (to make it easier to blend in), but then added it to taste and didn't use it all. DH can be pretty fussy about this type of food, but even he loved it! Thanks for the recipe, Caryn. KK
