You are here: Home / Big Food As I mentioned earlier in our journeys through Stroganoffland, this is “stroganoff” because it’s beef and has a dollop of sour cream. It is there that the resemblance to real stroganoff begins and ends. But it was good! Mr. Big Food made if for supper last evening. The recipe includes a separate baked long grain

Highly recommend this cookbook as well. I’ve had mine since college when I took a cooking class from one of the chemistry profs. Good recipes. Nice menus. Wide range of super easy to a bit more challenging if you’re just starting out. Not a bad recipe in the bunch. This is the last stroganoff recipe!

Mr. Big Food made an adjustment to the recipe. Rather than making individual little pies, he used a tube of Pillsbury crescent rolls spread out on a baking sheet and then rolled the whole thing up like a jelly roll. Worked out beautifully and took ever so much less time.

Note: I must have been using a recipe maker block back in February 2019 when this was first published. There is no 2 to follow the 1 below, but I can’t figure out how to remove the 1. 🙂 Another appetizer in our Football Food spread. Nicely paired with Cucumbers au Sour Creme.

This was part of our Football Food spread. It went very nicely with the Cheese Chili Corn Squares. Served it over lettuce for last night’s salad. Frugal!

More from February 2019. Football food! Recipes coming along soon. Obviously, the best part of the game– and it wouldn’t have taken much– was the football food. It was fantastic! I especially liked the Rissole, but the wings were pretty damned good, too. It was nice of Mr. Big Food to spare me barbecued wings.

You’re welcome! I had no idea we had this cookbook. “Bob Newhart, entertainer; started career as C.P.A.; recorded albums; personal appearances.

This is an excellent old cookbook, by the way. “Many recipes for this popular dish call for round steak and for considerably longer cooking than this one. This is truly a gourmet dish, a perfect choice for a party.” —Casserole Treasury from Lousene Rousseau Brunner (1964) “Serve with fluffy hot rice or plain boiled wild

I was looking for a bread recipe that calls for cracked wheat and stumbled upon this (which does not). It looks interesting. And this is perfect weather for this sort of thing–cold, gray, nasty, and drizzly. I’m not inclined to commit to it though, but I thought I’d share. “Instead of using just all-purpose flour,

This looks interesting and good. And it is venison time of year. “As has been mentioned, deer is butchered in the same cuts as beef. This includes grinding the meat also, with the marked difference that ground venison is virtually all lean.… The remaining recipe is Ozark-Style Venison Stroganoff, and as might be expected, the

As we continue our journey through early 2019 and the land of stroganoffs, here is some history and some funny stuff. For the record, I cannot believe I turned the recipes below into PDFs so y’all could download them. But I did. Originally published early February 2019. SueK’s comment on the 50+ stroganoff recipes post?

This is going to be fun. It appears we toughed the ‘let’s eat stroganoff once a week’ for quite a while before we threw in the towel. So probably a whole week’s worth on content already written and ready to copy. This is good, as I am trying to finish a short story. Added: If

I had forgotten all about this. I’ll have to look and see how far we made it until we tired of beef stroganoff. I’ll report back. Stay tuned. (Link to the recipe is at the end.) Originally published on January 10, 2019 The other day, Mr. Big Food announced that Beef Stroganoff was far & away

We have really been enjoying the savory bread recipes in Best Bread Machine Recipes (Better Homes and Gardens Books, 1997). My only complaint about this cookbook is that the serving sizes are way off. I do 1 1/2 pound loaves and I supposed if I got the meat slicer out and sliced the loaf pretty
