Poor Man's Meat Stroganoff

Just like the Poor Man's Alfredo I have a beef or some kind of meat Stroganoff. Cheaper and I think healthier for you.

For this recipe you can use any meat. Steak cut up into small strips or the other night we used our elk cube steak. Yes, it worked.

Meat.....use anything that is accessible and you want to use. If cube steak is cheaper for you to buy then get it...it will work.

Ingredients:

One family size can of Cambell's Cream of Mushroom soup
one can of stems and pieces canned mushrooms or fresh
meat
some spices
garlic

In a saute pan heat up some olive oil and add in some garlic toasting that up
add your meat...in this case I cooked up our cubed elk steak

I got out our electric pan and added the can of soup and started it out on warm and when the pieces of meat were done I cut them into strips and put in the soup mixture. When the meat was done I warmed up my mushrooms in the pan and then added to the whole mixture.

I seasoned my cube steak with Johnny's seasoning salt, steak seasoning and some new roasted garlic salt we just got. I didnt clean out my pan so when I warmed up the mushrooms in the same pan so they also got seasoned with what was left in the pan.

Simmer all the ingredients till it bubbles and you can serve over rice or any type of noodles. You can add some milk to make the sauce thinner too.

ENJOY !!!


Poor Man's Chicken Alfredo

Do you hate paying the price for those jars of alfredo sauce. I mean sometimes they are on sale and mostly they are not. The ones that are on sale really don't taste all that great anyways either. Well we solved the problem. I actually think its healthier too for you.

So Im going to show you how to get the same thing basically on a cheap budget.

One large family size can of Cambell's Cream of Chicken soup.
Chicken
fresh garlic from a jar or clove
Large pan or skillet of some sort.
Some spices
Can of mushrooms optional

Cut up your chicken into small chunks. You can use breast or thighs. Whatever is on sale. Fresh or frozen.
In your pan heat up some olive oil and simmer up some fresh garlic.
Add your chicken and cook till brown.
Season with Johnny's Season salt of something similar.
Garlic salt
And I like to add a garlic herb seasoning or Montreal Chicken seasoning and any other seasoning you may want. Add your mushrooms at any time.

In a skillet or same big type pan add the can of cream of chicken and some water or chicken broth.

Simmer as you cook some noodles or rice.

Serve it up with a sprinkle of Parmesan on top.

And that's it. Very cheap easy and I think healthier.
