Beef Stroganoff

What you will need:


1lb of ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tbsp of flour
1 tsp of beef bouillon or 1 bouillon cube
3/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of pepper
1 cup of water
1 cup of sour cream
rice, noodles or thin sliced potatoes

Saute hamburger, onions and garlic in skillet. Mix in flour, bouillon, salt and pepper. Stir in water; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream; heat 2 minutes. Serve over hot rice, noodles or thin sliced potatoes.

Admin Notes: This makes a really good meal in my opinion. In fact I made it tonight and just finished eating it over thin sliced potatoes. I got mad at my wife while I was cooking though, she was in the kitchen, crowding my space, I asked her to do something for me and she asked what I thought was a stupid question and I snapped at her. We had a shouting match which resulted in deathly silence for the next hour. I can be a real jerky grouch when I'm cooking. We have since made up, so all is good in the Camick household

Tuna Over Toast

What you will need:


1 can of tuna
2 tbsp butter
flour
milk
salt and pepper to taste
toasted bread

Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Open and drain a can of tuna and add it to the pan. Add flour and mix well so that it has the consistency of play dough. Slowly add milk, so as not to make it clumpy, stirring constantly until you've reached your desired consistency. Bring to boil, stirring constantly, sauce will thicken. If it is to thick add more milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Toast your bread and ladle the gravy over the toast and enjoy.

Admin Notes: My mother-in-law introduced this wonderfully simple meal to me. When I saw it for the first time I didn't think much of it but I am not one to be picky when I am a guest at someone else's house, so I ate it and I was pleasantly surprised. This has become a definite favorite of mine, especially at the end of the month when there is more month at the end of the money. My wife says that whenever her mother used to make it for them she would tell them, "Your grandfather always called it s#%t on a shingle." LOL Old people say the darndest things.
