Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Long-time family favorite!!! This was my grandma's recipe and passed down from to mom then to me. This dish is so full of flavor and fantastically filling. My 4 and 5 year old love this dish too! On separate occasions, I have added beer or wine to this dish. Both are great. Red wine is my preference... and of course OPTIONAL. Sidenote: my husband despises mushrooms. So I used Campbell Cream Mushroom Soup instead of a can of mushrooms. Hubby can handle that and deeply loves this dish too.

Grandma knew what she was doing when she made this beef stroganoff recipe. The sauce is tangy and savory. Slow cooking the beef in the sauce makes it super tender and it absorbs all the delicious flavors. In the Test Kitchen, we like mushrooms so we used both cream of mushroom soup and mushrooms. Yum! This is an easy stroganoff recipe for when the weather gets cooler.
