Ahhh...Beef Stroganoff

You probably have a comfort food.  For my mother-in-law, it was popcorn.  If she had a stressful day, she would either eat popcorn-flavored jelly beans or popcorn.  For me, it is roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy, or beef stroganoff.  If you love beef, this recipe will be a "keeper."
