"I love my classic version of Beef Stroganoff so much, I decided to focus on a pasta version that uses ground beef and the same secret ingredients to give it an unfortgettable, smooth, creamy finish...."
INGREDIENTS
•
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
•
1 large yellow onion, diced
•
2 tablespoons salted butter
•
16 ounces Baby Bella or white mushrooms, sliced (optional if you hate shrooms, but if you don’t use them, omit the butter)
•
3 cloves (1 tablespoon) garlic, crushed or minced
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1 1/2 pounds ground meat of your choice (beef, chicken, turkey or Italian sausage)
•
1/2 cup of a dry white wine (like a Chardonnay or you can use white cooking wine too)
•
1 tablespoon dijon mustard (like Grey Poupon, optional)
•
3 1/2 cups beef broth (I use 3 1/2 teaspoons of Beef Better Than Bouillon + 3 1/2 cups of water)
•
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
•
1 teaspoon dried thyme
•
1 pound (1 box) medium shells or any short pasta
•
1 packet of dry onion dip/soup mix (like the kind you’d use for dips)
•
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
•
5.2 ounce package of Boursin Garlic & Herb (SECRET INGREDIENT! If you can’t find the Boursin or Alouette which is usually located in the deli section of your supermarket near the fancy cheeses and cured meats, use 5 oz of a brick of cream cheese)
•
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
•
1 tablespoons truffle oil (any kind, optional)
