This recipe for Buttermilk Stroganoff comes from one of my favorite cookbooks:
This dish is a favorite of my husband and I usually make it once a month. I serve it with a green vegetable or a salad. One of my favorite things about this cookbook is that included with each recipe is a "Memo to Meal Planner" which gives suggestions for completing the menu. The suggestion for this recipe is, "Complete menu with broccoli, fruit salad and brownies or chocolate cake or cupcakes." Sounds good to me!
Buttermilk Stroganoff
1 lb. ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
6 oz. noodles (I use 4 - 5 cups dry egg noodles)
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 (4 oz.) can chopped mushrooms
1 cup shredded process cheese spread (Velveeta, 4 oz.) - (I use shredded cheddar cheese)
Cook ground beef and onion in skillet until beef is browned.
Meanwhile, cook noodles as package directs; drain.
Blend part of buttermilk into flour to make a smooth paste, then stir in remaining buttermilk. Add salt, pepper, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and mushrooms.
Combine beef mixture, noodles and sauce. Spoon into 2-qt. casserole. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven about 3 minutes, long enough to melt cheese. Makes 6 servings.
Note: I have never baked this in the oven. I just combine the beef mixture, noodles, sauce and cheese in the skillet and heat through.

Sounds like an interesting recipe. My mother used to use buttermilk all the time, I can't remember the last time I bought it in many years.
ReplyDeleteThe buttermilk makes this stroganoff very tangy. I used to make buttermilk, but haven't done that in a while. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThrifty cooking is appealing to a lot of people in these troublesome times, though thrifty ingredients aren’t necessarily the ones that are easy to find. I wonder if buttermilk is scarce or easy to get with all the shortages. It’s not that popular any more. Interesting.

Buttermilk has been easy to find where I am at, but I live in the heart of dairy country here in Wisconsin. The recipe mentions that buttermilk is less expensive than the typical sour cream. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHow interesting to use buttermilk in a stroganoff recipe. Mine calls for cream of mushroom soup and sour cream., but this might be good to try sometime since I always have buttermilk on hand. I use it to make pancakes.
ReplyDeleteWe really like it this way. It makes the stroganoff very tangy in a good way. I always have buttermilk on hand also. The main bread recipe I make uses buttermilk. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeletesigh, our library doesn't have that cookbook.. but it inspired me to order another one. Cheers
ReplyDeleteI have loved any cookbook put out by Farm Journal. They are just so practical and full of recipes using simple ingredients. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWe make stroganoff regularly but never with buttermilk. Sounds like an interesting version.
ReplyDeleteWe make stroganoff regularly also. This is an easy version that we really like. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteRecipe sounds good -- have never used buttermilk in stroganoff but I imagine it's delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is delicious! The buttermilk makes it more tangy than the traditional sour cream. This is my husband's favorite way to have stroganoff.
DeleteThrifty pantry meals are trending right now! ;) We actually have buttermilk, but no ground beef! We never have stroganoff anymore but it sounds good. I would bake it because I like crispy edges on pasta dishes. I was late with my Weekend Cooking post yesterday, so am catching up on blog visits today! http://baystatera.com/now-and-again-and-small-victories-weekendcooking/
ReplyDeleteI used to think stroganoff was too much work before I found this recipe. Now it is quick and inexpensive. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI made stroganoff, but (like others have said), I've never made it with buttermilk. I usually have powdered buttermilk in the house. I may have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI used to keep powdered buttermilk around too. I forgot about that option. Thanks for visiting!
