Very delicious recipe Kevin. I loved the homemade noodles and the spices were just right. I did use a leftover steak that I grilled last night in place of the ground beef but only because I had it already and didn't want it to go to waste. I sliced it thin and continued with the recipe. It worked perfectly. I also added a touch of red wine to the onions and mushrooms and allowed it to cook down a little bit before adding the soup and sourcream. Your recipe was served with garlic bread and steamed fresh green beans and onions. It was an excelllent meal and will be made again often. Thank you very much for a great dinner.

I found this recipe drab. According to the great reviews I was expecting something with an abundance of flavor, and in that regard it was certainly lacking. I do have a palette with a flare for spice though. The search continues...

I messed up the noodles but that is my fault so I used egg noodles. This is divine. I had never made stroganoff before and now I really doubt I will bother trying another recipe. My DD inhaled this while I did some serious damage myself. Thanks for sharing Kevin!!

I would actually give this recipe a 4.75, but no option is available. I used packaged egg noodles, however, but it was still delicious. Love the addition of the cream of mushroom soup. I also added a generous twist of fresh-squeezed lemon to the dish at the end and...man, did it make all the difference! It gave it the kick it needed and perfectly balanced out the heaviness of the sour cream.

My family loved this stroganoff! I've tried too many recipes and this was the best. Thank you! I used packaged noodles (but want to try yours, another day) and leftover roast beef with an extra Tbl. worchestershire. The basil made a great difference too. Hubby says it's a keeper.
