Quick and Easy Beef Stroganoff
1 pound beef round steaks - cubed
1 onion chopped
1 4-ounce can mushrooms, undrained
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 teaspoons beef bouillon
3 cups water
4 cups medium egg noodles
1 cup sour cream

Spray a large pot with cooking spray. Cook beef, onions, mushrooms and garlic over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until meat is cooked through. Add water, beef bouillon, egg noodles and sour cream to the meat mixture. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat down to low (do not cover). Cook on low for 5-7 minutes until pasta reaches desired doneness, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Let sit 4-5 minutes before serving. Sauce will thicken as it stands. To round out this meal, serve with fresh, warm rolls and canned or frozen peas.

This recipe is a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal. The stuffing gives this recipe a nice change of pace from your traditional meat-and-potatoes dinner. This recipe is also very budget-friendly.

Hearty Hamburger Casserole
1 pound ground beef
1 19-ounce can chunky vegetable soup
1 6-ounce package instant stuffing mix
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Brown beef in a large skillet until no longer pink. Drain any fat and stir in soup. Set aside. Prepare stuffing mix according to package directions while beef is cooking. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon half of the stuffing into baking dish. Layer with beef mixture, cheese and remaining stuffing. Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.

This is pretty close to a one-dish meal, but to make it complete, serve with fresh, warm rolls and a side salad.
