Cheap and Easy Beef Stroganoff (Serves 4)

2 breakfast (or minute) steaks (app.$1.75 at my butchers)
1 can mushroom pieces (50 cents)
1 can beef broth (50 cents)
1 can water (use beef broth can)
1 pkg. brown gravy mix (50 cents)
A shake or two of both onion and garlic powders
1/4 cup (approx.) sour cream (maybe about 50 cents)
3 cups of instant rice (make according to pkg. instr.)

Make the rice first - this dish only takes about 5-7 minutes to make.

Cut steak into thin strips, and fry in large skillet in a tiny amount of oil.

Add mushrooms (drained) and a shake or two of both onion and garlic powders. Stir around for a minute and then add the beef broth and water. Bring to a boil.

When boiling add the brown gravy mix and stir until all the lumps are gone. Reduce heat and add the sour cream. Stir until mixed, do not boil.

Serve over rice - very good and satisfying. I usually serve this with peas on the side and bread or rolls.
