Beef Stroganoff
Note: This high-calorie recipe is especially for kids with cystic fibrosis (CF), who may need additional calories to meet their nutritional needs. Get a grownup's help because it requires using the stove.
This meal is easy to make. Add extra sour cream for even more calories.
Prep time: 25 minutes
What you need:
- 2-2/3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 8 ounces beef tips
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 package ramen noodles, beef flavor
- 1/3 cup sour cream
What to do:
- Mix 1/3 cup water and flour and set aside.
- Cook meat and mushrooms in a small saucepan with 1 tablespoon butter until meat is no longer pink.
- Add 1/3 cup water and beef seasoning packet (from the ramen noodles) to the saucepan and simmer for 2 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles well. Add 2 tablespoons butter to noodles and set aside.
- Pour flour-water mixture into saucepan with beef mixture. This will thicken very quickly!
- Add sour cream and stir until mixture is smooth. If too runny, add more flour-water mixture and if too thick, add more sour cream.
- Serve noodles with stroganoff mixture over the top.
