POOR MAN'S STROGANOFF
1 lb. ground beef (not hamburger)
1 C. macaroni (I use elbow or shells)
3/4 C. chopped onion
8 oz. sour cream
1 envelope Hidden Valley Ranch "DIP" mix
1 can (4 & 1/2 oz.) mushroom stems & pieces
3 C shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1 C.)
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Brown beef & onion in
skillet. Drain fat from beef in colander. Pour macaroni on top to drain
also. (The boiling water rinses off even more of the fat.) Poor beef &
macaroni back into skillet. Sprinkle Ranch Dip on top & mix well. Add
sour cream & mushrooms & mix until evenly distributed. Stir in 2 Cups
of the cheddar cheese. Pour remaining cheese on top. Serve from skillet
warmed up.
Or you can pour the mixture into a casserole & put the 1 cup of cheese
on top. Store in fridge until ready to eat, then reheat in a 325
degree oven for 1 hour. Is delicious!!!!!
