Beef Stroganoff Recipe

It has been unbearably cold the last couple weeks in Wisconsin. Every task on the farm is even more challenging and time consuming in these crazy negative temperatures. The air hurts your face. I don't know how many times I have decided an errand can wait until someday that it is bearable outside or asked myself if some ingredient in a recipe is really worth going out to the store for. For days and weeks like this we have our favorite simple recipes with ingredients we typically have on hand. Beef Stroganoff is one of those "go-tos". It is quick, hearty, simple, and delicious. I promise, you will love it.
