I don’t know if it was the impending icestorm or watching all the Olympics from Russia, but I was in the mood for Hamburger Stroganoff. This is a comfort food dish from my childhood and it couldn’t be easier.
Yes, you could jush it up with sauted mushrooms, but I kept it simple – mostly because I did not want to walk the three 1/4 miles in the foot 2 inches of snow and ice to the grocery store for mushrooms. It’s a stick to your ribs dish that’s perfect for these winter nights (will they ever end !!!).
As you can tell from the photo, this dish won’t win the gold for presentation, but the flavor makes it a winner.
