This is a very easy recipe and according to my picky eater (age 13) it's THE BEST he's ever tasted. I didn't have 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup so used 1 can of mushroom and 1 can cream of chicken. Also didn't have cubed beef so used ground venison which cut the 1-1/2 hours of boiling time to nothing. This recipe, using ground, sliced, or cubed beef (or venison) will become a monthly meal at our house. Thanks so much.

I've tried a lot of stroganoff recipes and this one is the "best yet" according to my husband and son (a very finicky eater) I've also substituted chicken and dijon mustard (for the ketchup) and it worked as well. Thanks for the great recipe.
