eaten: one pot beef stroganoff

Well this dinner sure isn't fancy and it won't win you any culinary awards but everyone will eat it and its easy and filling. Done.

You have all seen those TASTY videos on facebook where they show you how to make a recipe using a hot plate and carefully prepared mis en place. Well this one caught my eye because I like both beef and mushrooms. And its a little lighter than a traditional stroganoff too.

I've made it a couple of times already and everyone seems like like it. I call that a success.
