Beef Stroganoff

My boys love Stroganoff. I make it about once a year for them, but I've never really liked it, and making the rue makes me mad. I'm not a fancy french cook so I don't try to be. Anyhow I've been searching for easy ways to make it for years and through a combination of several I've found one that not only works, I actually liked the taste of! That's a big deal. I honestly think it's the lemon that did it for me.

1 package wide egg noodles, cooked
2-3 palm-sized steaks cut into strips
1/2 c. water
beef boullion
1/2 c. milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 onion, chopped or 1 Tbsp dried
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 c. Sour Cream

Cook the steak in a frying pan with salt and pepper until they are browned. Meanwhile mix the boullion and hot water then add to the pan, add the soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and onion and let simmer. I let mine go for at least 30 minutes to soften the meat and blend the flavors. Then fold in the sour cream and heat through. Serve over noodles (or rice).

I love a good easy recipe.
