RECIPE: REC: Crockpot Beef Stroganoff (cooking as I speak)

[dawnnys]

(edited)

1 lb ground beef

1 can mushroom soup

2 Tbsp flour

1 cup milk

1 Tbsp butter

1/2 cup sour cream

1 small shallot, diced

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 Tbsp A-1

dash cayenne pepper

black pepper to taste

1/2 lb (or so) uncooked egg noodles

Brown beef (or not) over medium-high heat, and set aside.

In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients and place in well-greased(!) crockpot. Add beef and stir - cook on high for an hour, then reduce to low, and cook until done (about 5 more hours).

Just a p.s. The flavor of the spices were AWFUL. Maybe it was...

just me, but I would not use nutmeg or cardamon in this again. Way too strong, and overpowered the beef.

Dawn...I don't see nutmeg or cardamon in the recipe. Do I need new glasses? LOL

Don't you just hate it when that happens?! You try something that ...

Thanks for letting us know Dawn!

Hi Orchid, I edited my post and removed it - orig rec called for...

1/2 tsp cardamom and a pinch of nutmeg )

P.S. I DO need new glasses, however. Especially with all this gloomy upstate NY weather these days! lol

This just proves that we just have to give things a try. You just really...

never know when unusual ingredients work or don't work. The cardamon and nutmeg seem unusual for a stroganoff but yesterday I finally made the Five Ingredient Chicken that I believe was originally posted by Dawn/(who used to be in San Diego). Now THAT is a strange combination of ingredients! Wow, was it ever good. I would have never tried it but because so many raved about it I gave it a go. Thanks for trying and letting us know when something doesn't work.
