1lb lean Ground Beef
4 handfulls Wide Egg Noodles (im guessing about a cup each lol)
16 oz frozen peas & carrots

“Cream of ______ soup”
3 cups milk
3 tbsp flour (i just scooped some out with a wooden spoon)
1/4 c butter… or was that margarine? i think it was margarine..
salt, pepper

So, I browned some ground beef in a pan while boiling noodles. When the beef was nearly done I turned the burner off and let it sit there. When the noodles were almost done I turned the heat off & grabbed a cookbook to see what kind of sauce I might add to this.  I looked up beef stroganoff to see if that’s what I was thinking of, it was, but I didn’t have canned cream of mushroom soup and I didn’t really want to add sour cream. I looked up cream of mushroom soup on a whim and discovered that it’s very simple. So… I drained the noodles & dumped them on top of the ground beef (I didnt strain the meat because there was no visible oil or fat in the bottom) Then I just made some soup without the mushrooms, or the celery, or the onions. Then I mixed the peas & carrots in after it had thickend up. Then I put the noodles & beef back in. It didn’t taste all that great. I was like o.o oops. So I added garlic, onion, basil, oregano… and maybe some other things to it. Then it still tasted weird and i went… there’s been like no salt in this. I added some and it tasted way better. Funny how that is. Oh, then cause I was waiting for ppl it started to cool off and thicken up a lot, so I put it back on the stove and dumped some more milk in, like half a cup im guessing is all that was in there, and stirred it in. People came around pretty quickly after that. I would NOT reccomend cooking this food in this order, but it worked. Everyone (even miss “EW ITS GRAVY”) loved it. I guess I do have a big of my mom in me after all

So here’s what I would probably do in the future: (i try to write it kind-of-like a cookie bookie)

Brown the ground meat & Cook the noodles according to package directions (I was going to put these at the same time as the sauce, but then i realized it needs more attention than that) 

Put the milk, margarine, flour, salt, pepper, and whatever spices you like in a pan, cook over medium heat until it boils and thickens, stirring well so it doesn’t burn.

Mix it all together adding any vegetables you want (fresh vegetables should probably be cooked before added to this all so liquids don’t dillute the sauce too much)

o.o lol can cooking be this easy?
