Quick and Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff *

Quick and Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff

 Minutes to Prepare and Cook

Ingredients


    1 cup plain fat free yogurt 
    1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.75 oz)
    Dash Salt
    Dash Black pepper



Directions

Brown ground beef. Drain fat and rinse. Stir in yogurt and undiluted soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Makes approximatedly 8 1/2-cup servings.

Good over noodles, baked potatoes or mashed potatoes. We like it with wide egg noodles.

Shortcut: I buy ground beef in bulk and boil 5-10# at once. May include chopped onion if desired. Drain. Rinse. Divide into freezer bags for future meals. One pound of cooked ground beef weighs about 12 ounces and measures out to a 2-cup portion. Later, just thaw a package and use for quick spaghetti sauce, taco meat, vegetable beef soups, chilis, or other recipes calling for browned ground beef.
