Pasta has to be one of the easiest dishes to make and can be made into so many varieties to suit everyone's tastes. One of our favorite foods in my house has been beef stroganoff served with noodles. Get your favorite roast ready for transformation into a delicious savory meal! Here is a great recipe for you to try and your house. I've also included a recipe for homemade egg noodles in case you love the taste of homemade noodles like we do!

Beef Stroganoff Recipe

2 lbs beef roast trimmed well
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp minced garlic
3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Tbsp flour
1 can beef broth
1 onion, sliced thin
1 pkg lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
Wide egg noodles, mashed potatoes or cooked rice

Cut beef into thin strips small enough to handle with a fork. Melt the butter in a sauce pan and stir in flour. Add beef broth, and soup mix and continue cooking and stirring until thickens.
In another saucepan heat olive oil and brown the meat and onion until all sides are browned. Add this mixture to the beef sauce mixture. Cook in a covered pan on low for 10 minutes more. Stir in the sour cream and serve warm over noodles, potatoes or rice.

Homemade noodles can also be made if you prefer them over the store bought (and I do).

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 Tbsp water
3 Tbsp milk

In a bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, milk, and water together. Form a depression in the flour mixture and add the egg mixture. Mix well.
Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop. Knead for eight to ten minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough in half with a sharp knife. With a rolling pin, roll each dough piece until it is 1/16 to 1/8-inch thick. Cover the dough with a cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
Using a sharp knife, slice the dough on the counter into strips 3/8-inches wide. Drop the noodles one at time into the simmering water. Cook until tender.

You can dry these noodles over night and store them in the freezer in bags for later use.
