Beef Stroganoff

This is a creamy delicious version of stroganoff that it loaded with flavor!  It's my own version of a combination of recipes.  You can easily make this vegatarian by adding freshly cooked  mushrooms (like baby portabellas would be fantastic) instead of the meat.

Ingredients
1 lb cooked beef (steak, roast, ground, your choice)
Season meat with seasoned pepper and garlic salt.
I actually don't use the whole pound, but if I did I would double the rest of the ingredients:

1 onion
2 Tbsp butter
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 cup water
1 tsp veggie stock (concentrate) I love the "better than bullion" kind
1 can cream of mushroom soup (healthy request version because it doesn't have added MSG)
1 tsp or less Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 small can mushrooms, or cook fresh mushrooms with onions halfway through the sauteing process
salt to taste
pepper to taste (I like a lot!)
dash garlic salt
1 tsp parsley flakes (or better yet throw in some fresh chopped parsley)
1-1 1/2 cup sour cream (depending on how creamy you want it)

Cook meat and set aside. Saute onions in butter and oil on low heat (add mushrooms after about 5 minutes if using fresh ones).  Add minced garlic once the onions are cooked and saute 1 minute longer.  Then add water and veggie stock, cream of mushroom soup, worchestershire sauce, canned mushrooms, and spices.  Cook for about 5-10 minutes until desired consistency.  Last add sour cream and mix well, then add meat.  Serve over pasta.

* Top with fresh dill and parsley if desired!  Yum!!
