Beef Stroganoff

After years of searching for an alternative for my favorite food of all time (that does NOT use Cream of Mushroom Soup, which is so unhealthy, and trying several 'alternatives' which tasted disgusting, we have finally found one that is yummy! It's not just like the recipe of my youth, but very, very good in it's own right.

(again, quantities for OUR family size :)

2 lbs. ground beef
2 TBS flour
2 TBS butter
2 TBS olive oil
salt and pepper
chopped onions
5 C beef stock (or 5 C water with 5 beef bouillon cubes)
4 pints sour cream
1 lg can tomato paste (12 oz)
mushrooms
2 tsp paprika
pasta

-brown ground beef with flour, butter, oil, and onions. Add salt and pepper as needed.
-mix rest (except pasta) in a large pot and bring to a boil. Simmer until thick. Add meat mixture when it’s ready.
-serve over pasta.
