Beef Stroganoff

Wow, married life has really thrown me for a loop. In addition to the bliss of the honeymoon year, we're also astoundingly short on money. Luckily, I have a recipe from a friend that doesn't call for much and makes pure comfort food:

Stroganoff (it actually isn't real stroganoff but i call it that)

 
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey (or ground beef but i like turkey better)
garlic powder
onion salt
lemon pepper (or any pepper you like really)
2 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

brown the ground meat, seasoning with garlic powder, onion salt, and pepper
drain and return to skillet
add cans of soup, milk, soy sauce, and worcestershire sauce. mix well, simmer for about 5 mins, then serve.

i serve mine over egg noodles with peas and pearl onions, but you could serve it over mashed potatoes too
 
As a side note: I make this a little differently using the crock pot!
 
Ingredients:
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 lb stew beef
some water
 
Brown the meat in a skillet and transfer to crock pot. This step is not necessary but enhances the look of the stew, so don't hesitate to try it.
Add other ingredients, turn crock pot on Low for 8-9 hours.
Serve over noodles or rice and enjoy!
