Cheesy Beef (Or Turkey) Stroganoff

A fellow blogger posted a super duper yummy recipe she took from Quickies in the Kitchen: 30 Minute Meals.  I stole the recipe and tweaked it up a bit.  Here is her post with pics: The Queen of Dilly-Dallying: Quick Dinner: "If you are interested in a quick and cheap dinner idea, just follow this simple recipe for Cheesy Beef Stroganoff. The ingredients you need ..."

Since I'm in weight loss mode (or attempting it anyway), I thought I would take the recipe and tweak it a bit. This recipe was cheap, simple and incredibly delicious!  Here's what you need:


1 lb. ground beef (I used ground turkey breast)
3 c. uncooked medium egg noodles ( I used whole grain egg noodles)
1/2 lb (8 oz.) Velveeta Cheese, cubed (I used 2% velveeta)
1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (I used fat free cream of mushroom soup).
1/4 tsp. pepper

Step 1:  Cube the cheese up pretty small to melt easier.
Cook your ground beef and drain the fat, keeping the ground beef in the skillet.  Stir in 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.

Step 2: Stir in egg noodles, reduce to low medium heat and cover.  Let it simmer for 8 minutes until noodles are tender.  (I added the 2 cups of water and 1/3 cup of Reduced Sodium chicken broth)

Step 3: Add the Velveeta cheese cubes, cream of mushroom soup and pepper.

Step 4: Stir until your cheese is melted and serve warm.

This recipe was so incredibly yummy!  I paired it with peas but you could pair it with any side you like.  My kids absolutely loved it.  Bon Appetit.
