Bash away!

My day job continues to require me to do food prep over the weekend – not too much for lunches, but definitely for dinners. One of my favorite meals to make and then reheat is Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff, first acquired from Paula Deen’s website.

Yes, I know. I’m not ashamed of finding that particular recipe delicious.

Notes

I use Penzey’s Beef Roast Seasoning and Seasoned Salt, but you could use anything you like.  

I really don’t hit up her site anymore – it’s been years.

I have, however, tweaked the above recipe a couple times. Most recently, I upped the amount of beef and noodles. Instead of going with 1.5 lbs of sirloin steak, I had close to 3 lbs. It wasn’t a mistake; I wanted to add a bit of heft to the meal, and there’s more than enough sauce to handle it. I hadn’t planned on increasing the amount of noodles, but MM got his way! As a result, we ended up with 10 servings instead of 8.

Overall, no change to the taste of anything, and a side benefit was being able to take out my stress and frustration on the sirloin, using a trusty meat mallet!

Sometimes, you really need to bash something.
