Beef Stroganoff

From the Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook

Apparently this is one of my husband's favorites.  His sister used to make it for him all the time, so I decided to give it a shot.  It was definitely a super simple recipe, and very quick to make. 

1.5 lbs beef- I used angus cut into cubes, but you are better off getting strips, as you will have to cut it into thin, bite sized pieces.
8 oz sour cream
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped (I used one tsp of that pre-chopped garlic in the jar--- SO EASY!)
2 tbsp flour
2 tsp beef bouillion powder (I had chicken, so that's what I used.)
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 cups egg noodles (depends how much you like them...)

Melt butter in skillet.  Add in beef, onion, garlic and mushrooms.  Cook meat through.

In another bowl (while the above is happening) mix together the sour cream, bouillon, flour, water, pepper.  Once the meat is cooked, add this to the skillet and cook until bubbly and thick.  
Serve over egg noodles. 

This was yummy but a little heavy.  Someone recommended eating it on some kind of crusty bread instead of the noodles, but I don't know.  I guess it was pretty good if you are in the mood for a heavy meal.
