I needed to add more liquid to this several times before the meat cooked long enough to be tender (a couple times I added beef broth and a couple times I just added more water) and I didn't use quite the full 1/2 pint of sour cream (maybe a tbsp or so less). This was the most flavorful Paprikash I've ever had and with the sour cream it actually tasted quite a bit like stroganov which is one of my favorites.
