G if for Goulash

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef or turkey breast
1 onion chopped large
1 tbls. minced garlic
(paprika; optional)
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can tomato soup
3 cups macaroni noodles
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Brown meat with salt and pepper.  Add onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent (about medium to medium high heat, depending on your stove). Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato soup.  Cook until starts to boil.  Add macaroni and stir until macaroni is covered.  Place lid on and cook for about 10 minutes (until macaroni is soft).  Sprinkle cheese and replace lid for about 3 minutes.

S is for Stroganoff

2 lbs beef (cubed round steak, or ground beef are my favorite)
1 onion; diced
2 tbls. minced garlic

1/2 cup fresh mushrooms
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 pint sour cream
2 tbls. parsley
beef broth

curly egg noodles

Cook in crock pot for 6 hours: beef, onion, and garlic. OR Saute' in a pan with butter and flour.  I like the crock pot because the meat is much more tender.  When finished in crock pot, place in a large fry pan and add soup, mushrooms, and paprika.  Simmer for 20 minutes.  Add sour cream and beef stock to thin out if desired.  Heat thoroughly but do not boil.  Sprinkle with parsley and serve over egg noodles prepared according to package directions.

B is for Brownies with Berries

Brownie
1 Brownie Mix
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg
1/3 cup water

Bake per box instructions.  (I used this demarle pan for these)

Hot Fudge Topping
In a sauce pan, on medium heat, melt 1/2 cup butter and 10 large handfuls of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Add 1 can sweetened condensed milk, stirring well.   Once everything is combined stir in about 1/4 cup of milk to thin out.  Do not boil or simmer.

On this brownie I used fresh strawberries and shredded white vanilla chocolate.  If you would like a berry sauce, I suggest using frozen raspberries.

Berry Sauce
2 bags frozen raspberries
1 cup sugar

In a sauce pan heat one bag of frozen raspberries and sugar.  Stir until begins to boil.  Remove from heat and stir in the other bag of berries. Stir until well combined and mostly melted.  Top on brownies (add a bit of cream also).
