In all fairness I assumed that making my Mom’s Beef Stroganoff was super complicated. I would always say one day you are gonna have to come over and teach me how to make it 🙂 Well, little did I know actually this dish was very simple once she actually found the recipe and TEXT it to me haha, I decided it was the perfect meal to cook up. Mike enjoyed and Sofie liked it, too.

The recipe for my Mom’s Beef Stroganoff actually comes from a cook book from someone along time ago (most likely a church cookbook) just to give credit to someone. The traditional recipe calls for sliced mushrooms which neither Mike or I like so we did without, but if you like them go ahead and add them to it!

So this is actually a very simple recipe!
