Shopping the Fridge :Beef Stroganoff

 Starting to see the inside of the fridge again!

I needed to get some green leafy in me, so I knew I'd be making asparagus, at least. 
I had some mushrooms and some hamburger so I decided to make Beef Stroganoff. 

There's some chopping involved, I wont lie. 

Mushrooms

Onions

Butter cut into cubes

Cook them with some garlic

Add beef stock. I had chicken so I used that instead. And some worcestershire sauce. 

You put in 1 cup and cook, then add 1/4 c flour plus 1/2 c broth mixed together to get a gravy. 

Adding the sour cream. Lots of it!

I added some paprika to give it a better color, since I had the chicken instead of the beef stock.

The asparagus was snapped , then cut into thirds. I just cooked them in butter until they turned an even darker green but before they got soggy. 

The result was YUMMY. 

Hubby didnt like all the onions, so next time I might use half and cut them smaller. 

See you later for another episode of Shopping the Fridge!
