>he fell for the homemade is always better than boxed meme
Aiden Martin
It might taste similar, but at least the taste of yours is being produced by actual ingredients, not some powder. Stop bitching and eat your stroganoff.
Gavin Sanchez
yours was probably healthier tho'
Nicholas Lopez
ahahaha!

Top bloody kek senpai.
The best stroganoff is the Velveeta brand and add bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, and Zatarains.
William Smith
I made some of this for dinner tonight, I enjoy it more then boxed, but Its beacuse I prefer the fresh noodle texture.
Ethan Bennett
You forget THE secret ingredient
>HINT: It's not called stroganoff for no reason

In what universe does 'real' Stroganov take an hour to make? It's just floured bits of paprika-dusted beef stir-fried in butter with onions (and mushrooms, if you like) then deglazed with wine, dressed with mustard (or tomato paste) and finished with a dab of cultured dairy (such as strained soured cream, crème fraîche/panna da cucina or yogurt). It takes less than a fifth the time you suggest to whip it up. You've clearly never even made it. Why do you lie to us?

Beef Stroganoff!
Samuel Hernandez
>spend a good hour making a gigantic pot Hrm. Wouldn't the chunks of chuck or stew meat need longer to tenderize?
I think you made hamburger helper style just with real mushrooms and nothing more. Post your recipe? Besides amazing al dente floppy large egg noodles sprinked with dill or parsley and butter, the tang of fresh sour cream added at the end of the stroganoff stew should be a pretty pronounceable tangy difference. I think you can fusion stroganoff towards paprikash heaviness with paprika or towards swedish meatball in spicing your meat with allspice, cloves and such. Also, mushrooms need maillard reaction browning for rich flavors!
Chase Campbell
stroganoff is a pretty basic flavor profile, that's why. same with brown gravy, chicken gravy, etc- the powdered versions are pretty close to homemade because its dead simple and hard to fuck up,
compare with a fresh vs paste curry for example.
the real benefit to doing it yourself is you can tweak the recipe at different stages to make changes. try it with beer instead of wine, add chickpeas or broccoli with the mushrooms, stuff like that
Thomas Lee
Thanks OP, I'd heard of this dish but never knew what it was until I googled it just now because of your thread. I'm making it tomorrow.
>Try with beet instead of wine I already substituted dry vermouth because that's what I have and I don't drink wine
Jacob Brown
>literally doubling the cook time in order to inflate how long it takes Kekkledoodledoo, user. It takes 20 minutes to cobble it together. And you don't cook the "noodles" in the sauté: you boil the noodles in a separate pot as you're cooking everything then add them to the sauté pan to finish, thus making that seven minute cook time for the noodles entirely irrelevant.
Now lemme tell ya something else, friend: I've got a pretty bad case of a certain health condition and, as a result, I'm shakier than a Jenga tower during a game between Michael J Fox, Katherine Hepburn and Muhammad Ali after an all night espresso bender, yet I can prep onions for stroganov in about three minutes so there's no fucking way an able-bodied person is taking seven minutes to do it. None.
Adam Robinson
Well I cooked the pasta in the broth so it took another 7 minutes and I'm shitty at chopping onions.
I said it took me an hour and it did. What the fuck is your problem?
Asher Martin
>Now lemme tell ya something else, friend: I've got a pretty bad case of a certain health condition and, as a result, I'm shakier than a Jenga tower during a game between Michael J Fox, Katherine Hepburn and Muhammad Ali after an all night espresso bender, Very eloquently paints a picture. Sorry user about your condition, but 10/10 for eloquence.
Lucas Brown
>missing the point worse than shaq with a freethrow
Hey fuckface: if you're boiling the noodles in broth, you've got a second pot or pan besides the one you're sautéing your shit in IE those seven minutes of cook time for the noodles don't count because they're cooking at the same time as you're sautéing everything. Unless you're admitting that you're a retard who is incapable of paying attention to more than one thing at once. Even if you're shit at chopping onions, those seven minutes for noodle-cooking get cut out because it's done simultaneously as the sauté. That brings down your number to a mere 33 minutes, just about half of that hour you originally claimed. I want to know what base system you're using where 33 (or even 40, if you've the time-management skills of a thirteen-year-old retard with ADHD and you're cooking your noodles after you've done your sauté rather than during) is equal to a base-ten 60.
Noah Lopez
>>it tastes exactly then fucking same as the instant box crap Dude no it doesn't, come on now.
Benjamin Torres
>he fell for the one pot meme
Adam Fisher
I literally made stroganoff with fucking water instead of beef stock and I even improperly cooked the beef so it was tough and It still ended up being better than the boxed shit, at least now I feel a little better about my cooking skills
Adrian Davis
Not because I sauteed first in vermouth, until it reduced completely then added stock and didn't add noodles till the stock came to a simmer. Then cooked the noodles in the pot for 7 minutes.
Mason Gray
I'm 30 not 13 and I literally DO have ADHD. I take methylphenidate for it every day, so fuck you.
Charles Howard
This means you're inexperienced and very possibly shit at cooking thus rendering your opinion on homemade stroganoff irrelevant.
Kill yourself familia.
Justin Morris
What the FUCK is a hamburger helper LMAO.
>Americans are so fat and stupid they need help for eating hamburgers.
Nolan Hall
At least Google what it is before you make yourself sound stupid.
Liam Sullivan

Jonathan Jones
40 minutes cook and prep time can easily turn into 60 min when you factor in all the little fiddly crap.
Pulling stuff out of cupboards, measuring crap, opening jars or pickles.
Unless you're prepping every ingredient ahead of time and measuring it out into a little bowl, ready to go in the pot... then you're spending time doing that crap.
And even if you *do* do all that stuff up front, the extra time is seldom factored into the 'time required' estimate in a recipe.
Is an extra 20 min a lot? Sure, but not unheard of for a novice cook.
Sebastian Wood
>if you're boiling the noodles in broth, you've got a second pot or pan besides the one you're sautéing your shit in
You're asumming he had a separate pot of broth. Maybe he had cold leftover stock from the fridge that went into same pot.
Henry Foster
>7693833 Nobody likes you, not even mum.
Ryder Brooks
If it tasted the same, then you REALLY fucked up. Home made stroganoff should taste nothing like the Hamburger Helper kind. I like HH once in a while myself, but real stroganoff is several echelons above.
Angel Hernandez
I'm assuming he's a person of at least average intellect and ability. Clearly, both assumptions generously overestimated him.
>opening cupboards and packages takes 20 minutes Again, I shake more than a pair of twerking asscheeks and it certainly wouldn't take me anywhere near 20 minutes to open bottles, cartons/cans and pots/cups/tubs of >white wine, real beef stock, real sour cream
Ian Howard
It takes more than an hour just to make stock, even if you're using a pressure cooker which I guarantee you don't own
Nathaniel Collins
>making real beef stock
Grayson Parker
That stuff is shite. Like most store-bought "stock" it lacks the gelatin found in the proper stuff. Expensive too.
Joshua Sanders
>I'm assuming he's a person of at least average intellect and ability. So you're coming into a thread where a novice cook makes a simple dish and is disappointed in the results, and your first instinct is to sperg out at him and throw insults because he's an novice?
Better not cook anything then. Might trigger the great chef wizard of the internet.
Anthony Thomas
Well.. it does say 'real stock' on the package. It's probably what OP used.
>Original post literally reads 'real beef stock'
Matthew Barnes
>It's probably what OP used.
I doubt it. When people say "real beef stock" they mean they made it at home, not some kind of brand name.
Justin Jackson
>this beef stroganoff recipe literally calls for ground beef
NO WONDER IT TASTES LIKE HAMBURGER HELPER
Carter Cruz
stroganoff is NOT made with ground meat, you retard

Owen Bailey
Well at least there's no powdered crap in it.
A 'healthier' version I guess?
Connor Hughes
>gets caught in his bullshit >samefags to his own defense Will you never learn, OP? You said it took an hour, then explained it really only took you forty minutes, then had it pointed out that a disabled guy can make it in half that time, which puts your whole thread premise into suspicion (if saying that homemade anything tastes at all like the instant/boxed version wasn't an immediate tip off). I call shenanigans. Ya obviously never cooked any sort of stroganov, real or otherwise so why lie to strangers on the internet to say that you have? Is your life that devoid of things to do that this is your only entertainment?
Ryder Nelson
If I am same-fagging the OP, then mods please publicly ban me right now.
I ain't OP, I'm just an user that thinks your superior attitude is founded on bullshit.
And if you think cook time + prep time = total time you're crazy. You know damn well we spend more time in the kitchen than that.
Fuck man. Just washing dishes as you use them takes time. Stuffing rinds in the garburator takes time. Plating takes times. Setting a table takes time. Reading a recipe off a tablet takes time.

I love it when people finally figure out that many of the canned and boxed versions of food actually taste exactly like the dish they are supposed to be.
Chef Boyardee tastes the way it does because the people that made Chef Boyardee took several trips to the country sides of Italy and brought back italian cooks and had them help them make a canned spaghetti dish that tasted the exact same as true italian dishes.
Nolan Morgan
do you want some carbs with your carbs?

That is because you used beef you dumb faggot You are supposed to use venison or other game meat you have and it is tasty as fuck

Notice how he also said "real sour cream". I guarantee it was pre-made stuff from the grocery store.
Alexander Perez
>white wine You know it;s traditionally Brandy, make a big difference in taste, also try smoked garlic and avoid beef stock. then it wont taste like powdered crap.
Robert Anderson
Look shake and bake why dont you shut the fuck up.
