I made this for lunch and it was delicious!

Ramen noodles are great because you can add just about anything you want to them to make a pretty decent meal if you are on a budget, cook for one or just want to try something new. You can get a 5 pack of ramen noodles at most stores for a buck! That is 5 meals! You can't even get a candy bar for a buck anymore or even a bottle of water.

Mblah's Ramen Noodle Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients
one pack beef ramen noodles (cooked by package instructions)
3-4 spoon fulls sour cream (I like a lot of sour cream)
2 small squirts mustard (doesn't matter type)
pepper/salt
diced mushrooms about 1 tbs full (I always have canned mushrooms on hand for this purpose and keep some in the fridge in tupperware for cooking)
one shake of worchestshire sauce
1 big spoonful cream of mushroom soup


directions
Cook ramen noodles according to package. Mix all ingredients with cooked ramen and stir til mixed. You can add the ingredients to the noodles as they cook if you want. It doesn't matter. Once all ingredients are mixed, serve



Somethings I like to keep on hand are cream of soups, condensed soups, canned mushrooms, sour cream. I always have these items in my kitchen. They are inexpensive and can be used in many different things. I do get sour cream from our Dollar Tree and it's pretty darn good and only a buck. I also like to keep one can of each item opened in the fridge in a container. I am always adding something to what I'm cooking and not everything requires an entire a can of something so I try to keep it and use it later in the week so it doesn't go to waste.

So this was my quick, easy and affordable version of beef stroganoff.

Your body is like a Ferrari if you put crappy gas in it, it will not run to its full potential.

Do you have ANYTHING remotely interesting or that makes sense to add?

Im not in the mood for people like you.

That sounds yummy. I love noodles. When I lived in a flat with chinese students we lived on them.

One favourite quickie was noodles with a pinch of garlic, pepper, and soy sauce for flavouring, then we'd add chopped ham, sweetcorn, any lettuce or chinese leaf and throw a fried egg on the top. The noodles were very wet so it would end up sort of soupy. You can add any leftover from the fridge but the egg is a must.

Starving now. I'm still on that diet.

Good idea with the sour cream. Ramen noodles are the cheapest, quickest, tastiest, and fillingest filler food I know of. I keep a stack of ramen noodle packs in the cabinet for those "no-bother" single meals. I drain the noodles then add soy sauce or maybe use part of the flavor packet. I usually have a stir-fry of some sort to put on top, then a couple shrimps or a few slices of some roasted meat will top that off very nicely. Just about anything goes and it truly is a complete and nutritious 5-minute meal.

It was just over a week ago I made some quick chunky hamburger gravy to top it for the first time. It turned out well and I figured I would do something like that again soon. Glad you mentioned the sour cream.
