Local celebrity and KU superfan White Owl shares his favorite recipe, beef and sausage stroganoff. It’s a hearty, easy-to-prepare pre-game meal.
Ingredients
1 lb. fresh ground beef
1 lb. fresh ground sausage (preferably Italian)
1 red onion
1 full clove of garlic
1 lb. fresh mushrooms
1 green pepper
1 bag curly noodles (preferably spinach)
1 can tomato sauce. (White Owl uses V8 juice to get a day’s serving of veggies)
1 large container sour cream
Directions
Combine the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally until browned. Pour the juices off when cooked.
While the meat is cooking, chop the onion, garlic, mushrooms and green pepper. Add the chopped vegetables to the meat while it’s cooking. Next, make your sauce. Reduce heat to low and add V8 or tomato sauce.
You have two options: You can add the uncooked noodles to the mix and simmer for 40 minutes, or you can prepare them separately and pour the stroganoff over the noodles before serving. If you prepare the noodles separately, simmer the sauce for 15 minutes before serving. In either case, stir the sour cream into the sauce after cooking.
“If strictly for veggie lovers, just drop the meat and add other veggies,” White Owl says. “Be inventive, have fun with it!”
