I served this for lunch today and my parents joined us. We all loved this stroganoff. I was going to freeze some, but there was not enough leftover! I did two things different than instructed by the recipe...I used about 1/4 tsp of caraway seeds as caraway is not a flavor I really like. I prepared this in my large skillet and instead of simmering for a full 30 minutes, I probably simmered for 15 minutes, then added the flour and sour cream mixture. I covered the skillet and placed it in a 350 degree oven and let it cook for about 2 hours, while I was preparing the rest of the meal or playing on Zaar! LOL! It turned out terrific, the meat was tender and the sauce was just the right consistency. I served it over egg noodles! Thanks for a hit, LorenLou!
