Hamburger Stroganoff

1/4 cup butter
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 cup sour cream
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Melt butter in a large skillet and add onions and garlic. Cook until limp, about 3 minutes. Stir in ground beef and cook until browned. Drain if there is a lot of grease. Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, flour and paprika. Mix well and cook 1 minute. Stir in soup; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce and heat thoroughly. Do not allow to boil. Serve mixture over rice, potatoes or noodles.



NOTES : I usually mix this with noodles. I like the Kolaski noodes, they are like dried home made noodles.

Mom's Cornmeal Rolls

1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups milk
1/2 cup margarine
1 pkg. yeast -- (I use another 1/2 pkg. yeast)
1/4 cup warm water
2 large eggs -- beaten
4 cups flour -- (4 to 4 1/2)

Cook cornmeal, sugar, salt, margarine, and milk until thick. Cool to lukewarm. Soften yeast in warm water. Mix in with cooled cornmeal mixture. Add beaten eggs and mix well. Add flour to form soft dough. Knead 8-10 minutes on floured board. Place in greased bowl and let raise until double in size, punch down. Shape into Parker house style rolls and place on greased cookie sheet. Let raise again. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes. Brush with melted margarine.



NOTES : These are wonderful, very light and you can't tell there is cornmeal in them. My mom shaped the rolls into a ball and then slightly flattened the ball and folded in half. Wonderful, wonderful recipe.
