Reader recipes: easy, creamy beef stroganoff

Beef stroganoff

Ingredients, part 1:

• 1 ½ pounds beef (I used sirloin tips)
• 2 jars Heinz beef gravy
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• Salt and pepper to taste
• A dash of Penzey's Chicago Steakhouse seasoning (optional)

Part 2:

• 6 ounces sour cream
• Half a bag of egg noodles

How it works: Toss in the first ingredients on medium.

• After several hours, mix in and dissolve the sour cream.
• Boil the noodles, drain, then mix them into the slow cooker. Allow the mixture to sit for 30 minutes, then serve.

My take: I like the simplicity. You can eat it as-is or customize it. I added a chopped onion.

• Pat uses fat free gravy and sour cream and yolk-free noodles as a healthier option.
• 😅 I … did not. But I'll keep that in mind for next time.
