JustJanS's Note:

I went in search of Brazilian recipes, for a night I'm planning. I didn't realize how popular stoganoff was! This is a combination of 2 recipes.

Substitute the sour cream for 1 can table cream (that's what we use in Brazil) and add 1 can of tomatoe sauce. I don't put alcohol in mine (chicken) but if you make the beef one, try whiskey instead of white wine. I also add 1 teaspoon ground cumin.

A suggestion: do the Brazilian way and substitute Cognac and "Creme de Leite" (Table Cream sold at supermarkets) for the white wine and sour cream. You will see the ENORMOUS difference it will make. I guarantee you'll never go back to sour cream! (Then let me know what you think!)

I've never tried anything Brazilian before. I used the suggested tomato paste and table cream in place of ketchup and sour cream. I also served it over brown rice rather than white rice. I was quite pleased with the results. It was definitely a new flavor all together.
