Oh, let me tell ya, this beef stroganoff with onion soup mix is somethin’ special, I’ll say. Ain’t nothin’ too fancy, but my word, it sure gets folks’ taste buds dancin’! Now, don’t go thinkin’ ya need some kinda chef hat to make this, ’cause it’s just throwin’ together some good ol’ beef, a packet of that onion soup mix, and a few other bits ‘n pieces. Simple as that!
First off, ya gotta have yourself some beef—any ol’ beef chunks will do, but the tender ones make it real nice. Then ya grab a packet of onion soup mix. Lipton’s is real common, but I reckon any onion soup mix you got handy will work.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- About a pound or so of beef, sliced up or cubed
- One packet of onion soup mix
- One can of cream of mushroom soup
- A cup or so of sour cream
- A bit of oil or butter for browning the beef
- Optional: some mushrooms if ya got ’em
How to Make Beef Stroganoff with Onion Soup Mix
Now, start by heatin’ up a skillet or any ol’ big pan ya got. Add a little oil or butter to the pan, then toss in that beef. Brown it up good so it’s got that nice crust on it—gives it all the flavor, ya know. Once that beef is lookin’ all brown and tasty, sprinkle the onion soup mix right on in there. Stir it up so all that beef gets coated nice and good with the mix.
Now, if ya got a slow cooker, this is the time to toss everything in there! Just pour in that can of mushroom soup and about a cup of water or beef broth if you got it. This’ll keep it from gettin’ too thick. Put a lid on that slow cooker, turn it to low, and let it cook for, oh, about 6-8 hours. Ya can also do it quicker on high for about 3-4 hours, but I’ll tell ya, slow is the way to go.
If you ain’t got a slow cooker, no worries! Just leave it in the pan, lower the heat to a simmer, and cover it up. Let it cook for about an hour or so, stirrin’ every once in a while so nothin’ sticks to the bottom. Once it’s done, stir in that sour cream—this is the magic touch that makes it all creamy and good. Ya can also add some mushrooms if ya like ’em; just throw ’em in along with the sour cream, and cook for another few minutes till they’re soft.
Serving Suggestions
Oh, now for the best part—gettin’ it on the plate! Serve it over some nice hot egg noodles, rice, or even mashed potatoes if ya like. That creamy beef just melts right in, mixin’ with them noodles or taters, and folks’ll be scrapin’ their plates clean, I’ll tell ya.
And that’s it! There ya go—beef stroganoff with onion soup mix just like that. Ain’t no fancy steps or hard-to-find ingredients. Just good ol’ beef, soup mix, and sour cream, comin’ together to make a meal worth talkin’ about. Perfect for those days ya want somethin’ hearty and warmin’. Go ahead and try it out—ya won’t regret it!
Enjoy, and don’t be surprised if this becomes a favorite around your table. It’s the kinda dish that folks remember!
