So, the other night I "accidentally" came up with this recipe. I did not know what I was making until was done, and when I tasted it, I realized it tasted like Beef Stroganoff! We all like it- even Arianna! So- here's the recipe!
Beef "Mock-ganoff"
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 package short cut pasta (I used penne)
3 Tbs butter
3 Tbs flour
1 1/2 (more or less) cups beef broth/stock
1 1/2 (more or less) cups milk
Salt/Pepper to taste
Cook pasta according to directions on package. Drain, reserving about a cup of the pasta water.
Brown onion and ground beef in a skillet. Remove from skillet. Melt butter in skillet that you used for the ground beef. Once butter is melted, add flour to make a roue. Add beef stock and milk to your taste and to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Add beef and onion mixture to gravy.
Once pasta is drained, return it to the pot and add beef gravy. Mix thoroughly- add pasta water if you need it. Serve.
Enjoy!
