Stroganoff

When I was in high school, I would spend a few dinners a week at my then-boyfriend's house. His mom made the BEST stroganoff. I've never been able to replicate it, but this one was definitely a keeper! It had the mushrooms, beef and flavor I was looking for without being over powering. It was very easy as well! There are also directions for freezing this meal for another day--I did not try this, but included the directions
