Weeknight meals don’t get more comforting and inviting than Ground Beef Stroganoff, and it is so easy to make with this easy one pot recipe. Your family is going to love it’s creamy sour cream sauce and rich, savory flavor!

  • Use the overnight breakfast casserole to make breakfast one time this week with easy to heat up leftovers for the rest of the week. Every day can have a no-fuss hot breakfast!
  • Make the most of the end-of-the-summer produce with recipes that use zucchini, squash, honeydew melon, watermelon and tomatoes.

Menu #1- One Pot Beef Stoganoff
