i skipped the celery, the seasoning, and the bacon. I wanted a basic beef stroganoff. Also you can use any noodles you want-to save money. This is a good first time recipe for me. thanks. way better than box stuff.

Love, Love, Love this recipe!!!! My boyfriend is a picky eater... and a big hunter as well! We both prefer it with venison... It may be with deer, or elk. Still delicious either way! :) I cut down on the seasoning salt (ALOT!) and use back strap or tenderloin... which people may think is strange, it cuts down on cooking time and also makes it pretty tasty... but I also understand most people don’t have that kind of meat to throw into stroganoff.. It’s still very tasty with venison steak as well!... I don’t know if its a typo in the recipe, but a teaspoon is just enough! I also add fresh mushrooms and cut them in sixths (I love my fungus ;) ) But this is one of our favorite dinners! Its super easy and makes enough for left overs! And always a crowd pleaser!! I recommend it 100% :)

I actually made this according to the recipe...unusual for me:-) My only change was to use fresh mushrooms instead of canned, which may have caused the only problem I had. The sauce was too thin, so maybe the fresh mushrooms gave up more liquid than canned would have? Either that or I should have used more cornstarch. At any rate...easily correctable next time. Flavor was excellent & I will make it again. It was also a little on the bland side...but I did omit most of the seasoning salt...and a few garlic cloves wouldn't hurt it. Overall, a good recipe.

Well, I made the recipe as listed - because that's what I always do the first time time around and didn't have time to read the reviews prior. Here are my thoughts - this was the most excellent stroganoff I have ever eaten though it was extremely salty. I think the seasoning salt and the bacon added such a wonderful flavor that I think that omitting them would change the dish. Next time I will use low sodium beaf broth, cut down on the seasoning salt and the amount of bacon but other than that, this recipe is great as is and my family loved it (including my 3 very picky eating kids!).

This is a great recipe but I did follow some of the other reviewers advice and cut way down on the seasoning salt, omitted the bacon (though I might try it next time), and added garlic, black pepper, and Mrs. Dash, and rolled the meat in flour before browning. I like the idea of not using cream of mushroom soup but also, by following another reviewer, I can do that as well. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for sharing!

This is a can't miss recipe! I forgot the bacon, misread what to do with the mushrooms and ended up putting them in with the onions and garlic. (I did add garlic because we like it.) I also used a 1lb round steak sliced into strips because that was what I had. I did wait until just before serving to add the sour cream though and my husbsnd loved it and so did I! I also breaded before browning, adding some of the spice into the flour. Perfect thickness of the sauce. Poured over egg noodles. 1 thing I almost forgot, I used beef boullion for the broth since I was out of beef broth.

I read many reviews before I made this so I knew not to add too much seasoning salt However, I didn't really care for the recipe--it tastes too much of worcestershire sauce and is really thin rather than creamy.

this was really good! After reading reviews, I decreased the salt to 1 tbs and used fresh mushrooms. I will make this again but will also add fresh garlic. Great recipe! I gave it 4 stars because I had to "tweak" it.
