Hamburger Stroganoff

Back when I first started this blog, I used to have a quote at the top that said, "If you are what you eat, I'm fast, cheap, and easy."  Well, this recipe fits all those qualities while still being a delicious, comforting, home cooked meal.  Kids love this stuff.  My daughter is going through a phase of severe pickiness, but she pounds down the ol' hamburger strogy.  Plus, it takes about 30 minutes to prepare, sometimes even less.  Ya gotta love that.
