Dimetri is the featured chef; his comment was"...Stroganoff is Russian COMFORT food, like Meat Loaf to Americans." Thanks to Dimetri for this great recipe! Try it, bet you and yours will love this rich sauce! (Will post photo when published.)"

This was simple and good. I added a table spoon of hot Hungarian paprika to my dredging flour and doubled the mushrooms. I also cooked it in a pressure cooker 20 minutes and used a large chuck steak instead of sirloin.

I was lucky to be playing Zaar Tag when Caroline Cooks' recipe came up after my husband had asked for Stroganoff! The addition of bacon, which I don't usually use, was quite good, although I cut down the bacon grease quite a bit due to health issues. I used Demi Glace rather than the bouillon and I added, (I'm feeling bad over this) a tablespoon of tomato paste just because I always do. This is a great recipe, leave OUT the tomato paste, Hubby would like even more sour cream, which is the low fat vaiety at our house. This recipe is a keeper, and I'm sorry Caroline, for making changes to it the first time. It's a great recipe! I'm so glad I tagged you!

I liked the smoky taste of the bacon in this stroganoff.Easy to prepare and the unique flavor was very impressive. Substituted low fat sour cream.
