I was recently asked to post a simple recipe that was suitable for feeding a family of 8. Poor Man’s Stroganoff is one of my all-time faves! My mother made it often, and I have, too. It’s quite scalable and everyone loves it – the kids used to eat it cold from the fridge! So, from my heart and home to yours… _Attributes: Love, and whatever is in Worcestershire sauce…_ ![poormans-stroganoff](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/pagangrimoire/original/2X/7/78492383d7a9598270402dad3b62c528dfe5733c.jpeg) _Ingredients_ 1 lb ground beef 1 can corn 1 pkg (12 oz) wide egg noodles 1 pkg cream cheese 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can of milk 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (or to taste) _Instructions_ 1. Cut cream cheese into quarters and let it come to room temperature. 2. Bring a 4 qt saucepan of salted water to boil. When large bubbles form, pour in the package of wide egg noodles. 3. While noodles are cooking, set ground beef in a frying pan and break up under medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and continue to brown until moist and crumbly. Drain fat and set aside. 4. When noodles are done, drain thoroughly and return to saucepan. Add cream cheese, corn (with the liquid), mushroom soup, and 1 can of milk. Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to the sauce. Stir until well mixed. Add the ground beef and toss into the contents.\*\* Cover tightly and put the pan back on the burner at it’s lowest setting for 10 - 15 minutes. You want all the ingredients to be quite warm and at the same temperature. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching the milk and cream cheese. 5. For a richer flavor, add 1/2 pint of sour cream. **Note:** \*\*You can also keep the noodles separate from the sauce and serve it in the more traditional way – sauce on top of noodles. I think I’ll try it next time I make this dish. ---
