Here's why I love this recipe...I love beef stroganoff, the kind with sour cream and lots of paprika. I rarely make it, because it takes longer than I have on an average weeknight. This was the first recipe I picked for PAC 2006 and I took it as a good omen of things to come. This is quick, inexpensive and really takes care of my stroganoff craving. I made the recipe almost as is. I thought the paprkia and tomato paste were the right amount, I won't add more. I did add a little bit more butter when I sauteed the mushrooms and didn't let all the liquid evaporate, there was maybe an 1/8th of a cup left and I thought it helped the paste and paprika to blend. I also tempered the sour cream by adding some of the sauce into the sour cream so that it wouldn't curdle. Absolutely fabulous! Thanks dicentra!

I was very pleased with this recipe. I did make some slight changes to try to lighten this up. I used only 3 tbsp butter and about 1/2 Cup of low fat sour cream and I served over whole wheat egg noodles. After I sauteed the mushrooms, onion and garlic, I added about 2 tbsp water and then mixed in the paprika and tomato paste. I also added about 1/2 C of thinly sliced leftover steak and then mixed in the sour cream until the consistency was what I wanted. This would be a great recipe when the pantry is getting bare. If you have extra chicken or beef laying around, throw it in and use it up. Loved it and will make it again. Thanks dicentra!

Oh my, what a GREAT base recipe!! This is perfect as-is. No, it's not spicy or "complex" but it is COMFORT FOOD... First time I made this as directed, but had to use canned shrooms as that's all I had on hand (next time: definitely doing fresh). Tonight I am making this with 1lb of Polish sausage I must use, in place of the mushrooms. This is classic Eastern European food and finally, I find a recipe with the right proportions. Stol laj!
