Get out the crock pot, honey, I'm about to make it look like you stood at the stove all day and still had time to get all dolled up in time for dinner.
Prep time: Quicker than discussing "what can I make that everyone will eat?" (15 minutes).
Cooktime: 8 hours (of course you aren't even home for this!)
Ingredients:
Bag of Egg Noodles - I like extra wide, honey
2 lbs beef chuck, with fat trimmed, cut into slices 1/2" x 3" long (it'll be ok - it's quick)
1 large onion chopped (2 cups) (You have to know the quick method)
1 lb sliced mushrooms (buy them presliced - you're worth it)
Kosher salt and some fresh pepper
2 TB cornstarch
1/2 cup lowfat sour cream
2 TB Dijon mustard
Sprinkles of dill - fresh or dry
1. Toss beef, onion, and shrooms in your 5-6 qt. cooker, add 1.5 tsp salt and a few turns of pepper, cover and turn on low setting for eight hours, or high for 6. Now go do more important things.
2. In a 2 cup glass measuring cup - blend cornstarch and 2 TB water. Ladle 1 cup of yummy cooking liquid therein and whisk - pour into small saucepan and boil until thickened - 60 seconds...Turn of the cooker, stir in the cornstarch mixture and add sour cream and mustard. Serve over noodles, sprinkle with dill. You'll love yourself. and so will your friends/family.
Serve with some nice steamed broc. or a salad. Even better the next day.
