Kitchen Tip!


Everyone hates the smell that onions can leave behind in your fridge. An easy way to keep the odor from permeating everything is to take a glass jar (Mayonnaise jar, canning jar), put your onion half, sliced onion or chopped onion into the jar and then cover with cold water. The jar must be glass and it has to have a tight fitting lid. This keeps the odor from getting into everything and the water keeps the onion fresh longer!

Quick and easy ground beef stroganoff with potatoes



OK, this is a quick and easy way to make stroganoff when you've had a long day but want to have a real meal.

You're going to need:

2-3 lbs of ground beef
1 bunch of green onions
1 pkg of bacon (12-16 ounces)
1 24ounce container of sour cream
Mashed potatoes, either homemade or out of the box, whichever you like!

Ok, the bacon is in the package in like a block of bacon. First make cuts about every 1/2 inch so that the result is all the slices are now chopped. Fry the bacon until golden brown and slightly crispy.


While the bacon is frying go ahead and finely chop your green onions. When the bacon is done cooking, remove it to a plate with a couple paper towels so the grease drains but dont dump out your bacon grease.

Put your hamburger into the bacon grease and cook until done. Then strain your grease out of the meat and let it brown some.


Once its brown, put the onions, bacon and sour cream into the ground beef and mix well.




Serve on top of your mashed potatoes and enjoy!
