Message 1816703 - Posted: 12 Sep 2016, 19:49:15 UTC

Cooking from scratch I've found is getting a bit harder for Me, next time I make
Beef Stroganoff, I need to omit the onions(I used flakes instead of a med onion,
probably used too many), 8oz sliced mushrooms, ground beef(the beef was excellent,
nuked for 8mins in a 900w microwave oven, instead of sliced beef, the ground beef
came from a food pantry as did the noodles, they were FREE), margarine, beef
bullion(the recipe called for it), sour cream and 4 quarts water for the noodles.
Parsley was an optional item, so I didn't bother buying that.

I have enough left over for another batch, but without the onions and mushrooms,
the onions I have plenty of, but being flakes I wrongly used a cup full, should
have used maybe 1/3 of a cup, stuffs potent, and I don't have another 8oz of mushrooms.

The container of flaked onions I think I'll give to an acquaintance who likes onions.
Right now I think I need a nap.

I would never consider using mushrooms in the first place. I hate them. I would also go light on the onions, just for digestive reasons.

Beef Stroganov.
The dish "inventer" chef's employer, Count Stroganov was according to history toothless in old age and his valet had to cut the meat into small shreds.
But using ground beef?
Is that not going a bit far?

Perhaps Beef Zoom is a more appropriate name for the dish that you make.

Beef is not very descriptive by itself, I'm of limited income, so ground beef is what I can afford, works the same really. Don't like that? I don't care.

I also use ground beef in spaghetti too.

Cause I can, cause General Mills Hamburger Helper does call it Stroganoff and cause it does have Beef in the dish, "if the shoe fits, wear it". Even the name of the file says "hamburger-helper-beef-stroganoff".

Note: There is NO ham in hamburger in the US anymore, yet it's called hamburger.

There never was, the Hamburger reference is to the German City of Hamburg. Where they made a beef patties and served it without any form of bread.

I'm probably going to be giving up and selling the
machine.


Try this: use the bread machine to take the process all the way through except for the baking. I use a french bread recipe and then bake the bread in the oven with a baugette pan and have the most wonderful results. Add an egg wash and some sesame seeds. Spray the oven during the baking with water once or twice while it is baking. Chances are you will eat the whole thing as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Make sure that your yeast is fresh and the water at the correct temp for proofing--not too hot.

Totally agree with that 100%. I use mine, which has a timer for setting the start time, so that the dough is ready about the same time I get up.

Instead of ground beef you could buy that "chili beef." It's cut up into
small pieces instead of ground. I think it costs about the same amount.

Now that I'm diabetic there's that reason to get rid of the bread machine.
My incompetence at actually making bread is no longer a factor. Thanks
for your suggestions, though.

Ok I have enough onion flakes left, I found out in another recipe that 1/2 cup would equal a medium onion, I used twice that much in the last batch, I could taste and smell onions for a day or two, I said they were potent.

Mushrooms, yeah I don't have any left, I'd only bought enough for 1 batch, a second batch could substitute chicken for beef, mushrooms and beef bouillon would then not be needed.. But then I'd need a couple cans of condensed cream of chicken soup, I do have 3 cans of condensed vegetable soup though, not sure what I'll do with that, outside of eat it.

I know:)
It was John F Kennedy who said "Ich bin ein Berliner" in 1963 in a speech in West Berlin.
I was just kidding about language difficulties.
Reading US recipes for European food can be very fun for us.
For instance.
Danish. That's a pastry from Vienna Austria, not from Denmark.

Easy Chicken Stroganoff

2 tablespoons butter
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
6 ounces sliced mushrooms (about 2 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup or (10 1/2 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed 98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
6 ounces (1/2 of a 12-ounce package) medium egg noodles, cooked and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


Parsley is I think an optional ingredient, since that is just a garnish.

I have the following:
Margarine
30oz canned chicken(15oz per can)
--
Flaked onions(more than enough for 1/2 a cup)
--
8oz sour cream(half of a 16oz tub)
16oz noodles(1 bag)
--

Needed:
16oz sliced Mushrooms(2-8oz packages)
2 cans Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup


Directions are at the link, though this I can make, this is as We say here, "a piece of cake".
