Aldi Product Review : Sour Cream + Recipe: Beef Stroganoff

I continue to shop at Aldi's... each week nowadays.  I tried their sour cream which comes in a light and regular variety.  Tastes just like Breakstone or Daisy.


I made some beef stroganoff recently and used it in the recipe on the back of a box of stroganoff mix.  I think I bought  the mix  at Wal-Mart when I had my last oil change. That's about the only time I ever go in the store.

First I cooked 1 lb. of ground beef and set aside. [You can also use any beef already cooked.  I've used leftover pot roast, stir-fried beef and brisket in this recipe.  The layering of the flavors always adds extra taste.]


I sauté onions until they are caramelized then mix with the beef.   This time around, I was out of mushrooms, but adding those makes it even tastier.


The box always says to add 2 cups of milk to the mix.  I always use one cup of milk and one cup of sour cream.  Let it all simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes.  I had time to play a word or two ...


The sour cream and additions, thickens the beef stroganoff nicely.  I served it with corn on the cob, fresh collard greens and  red strawberries/oranges.  A fairly quick and easy meal and if I recall correctly, everything except the boxed stroganoff mix came from Aldi's.  :)
