Jessica's Delicious Beef Stroganoff

I have made this dish a few times. Its easy, delicious and makes everyone happy. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1LB Beef sirloin steak, Cut into strips (or however small/big you desire.)
1/2 Cup Chopped onions
1 TBS Butter
8oz Freshly sliced mushrooms
Pepper
Salt
8 oz Philadelphia cream cheese
1/3 cup Beef Broth. Reduced Sodium
Egg Noodles

Directions:
Cook meat and onions in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat (5 to 6min. or until beef is done) While the meat and onions are cooking, in a separate skillet on medium heat add butter. Once the butter is melted add the mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are soft and tender. (about 5-6min.)

At this time start boiling hot water for the noodles. Egg noodles do not take long to cook. (Use your judgement on when would be best to start the noodles so that they are done about the same time as the  stroganoff.)

When the mushrooms are done add them to the skillet with the beef and onions. Stir. Add the Cream Cheese and stir until melted. (Stir frequently otherwise the cream will burn to the skillet.) When the cream cheese has melted add beef broth. (If the broth has made the dish to much like soup add a little flour at a time to thicken it up.) Add salt and pepper to taste.

The beef is already pretty salty so you will not have to add a lot. The cream cheese is also very flavorful. If you end up putting to much cheese in your dish will be very very cheesy. :)

Once the Beef Stroganoff and noodles are done, drain the noodles put it on a plate and put the Beef Stroganoff on top as desired.

You can top the Beef Stroganoff with parsley if you want to present it formally. Or just through it all on a plate and enjoy this YUMMY dinner! :)

If you have any questions your more then welcome to leave me a comment and I would be happy to answer them. :)

This recipe only feeds two people. So if you are a family of 2 or more I highly recommend doubling the recipe. Or if you significant other eats a lot like my husband then maybe its best to just double it.  lol
