I love Stroganoff, and this recipe was good. Easy to make with ingreadients I had in the house. Except I was short on the amount of sour cream I had in the fridge. My sauce was looking pretty thick, (plus I had more than a pound of meat), so I added about 1/2 can mushroom soup and a few table spoons of milk to get to the right consistancy. Then I always add a couple splashes of white wine to my stroanoff. Thank you. It pleased my whole family.

I changed a couple things. I added 5 cloves garlic, doubled the worcestershire and cut the salt in half. I added a little Franks hot sauce at the table. With those changes I will make it again.

This was easy to make and very good. Instead of sprinkling the bacon over the finished dish, I added it with the mushrooms towards the end of the cook time. The addition of bacon imparted a subtle smokiness and made for an interesting variation of this old-time favorite.

Most recipes i have found do not let this dish simmer long enough. I like to cook until the meat is fork tender which seems to be about twice as long as others call for [I posted this recipe.]
