Best Beef Stroganoff

Bri22's Note:

My mom made this beef stroganoff weekly when I was younger. I don't have the same metabolism I did then, but it's still the best $%#&* beef stroganoff I have ever had. I just want to thank everyone for all the wonderful reviews and ideas, I too now add a splash of Worcestershire sauce! Thanks again!

I've made this so many times that I can't believe I never took the time to review it. This is a great, easy recipe and very tasty. I usually skip the canned mushrooms because I never have them on hand (although I do sometimes saute fresh mushrooms in butter and spoon them over the top of each dish), plus I add about a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and about a 1/4 cup of beef broth for flavor and a thinner consistency. This is a HUGE hit in my house. DH requests it on a weekly basis.

Very good! I did make some changes though after reading other reviews in order to add a bit more flavor. I used 3 cloves garlic, only 1/3 c sour cream and added 1 tablespoon worchestershire, and some frozen peas for the extra nutrition. Also needed to add a bit of water after adding the soup to thin it out. Will make this again.

This tasted like homemade hamburger helper. Even with the addition of worcestershire sauce it was very bland and just totally plain. I can see fixing this for the kids on a weeknight when I am not so hungry but not anytime soon. I would post a slew of suggestions for tweeking the recipe but then that would just be a completely different recipe now wouldn't it? It was easy and filling but I just don't understand the rave reviews over this one at all.
