Copyright © by Michelle Jones, editor of BetterBudgeting.com

Even if the beef is not on sale, you can easily squeeze two or three meals for your entire family out of this dish - making it very frugal!

Ingredients:

1 (2 1/2 pound) beef chuck roast

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

1 package dry onion soup mix

1 1/3 c. water

(Add 1/2 c. extra sliced mushrooms and/or onions if desired!)

Extra-wide egg noodles (cooked and drained just before serving time)

Directions:

You can brown all sides of the roast in a large pot with a bit of oil if desired, but it's not necessary.  

In a small bowl, stir together the soup and onion soup mix.  Place roast in crock pot (along with mushrooms and/or onions if desired), and cover with soup mixture.  Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

With a large wooden spoon, stir the finished roast a bit before serving, the meat will shred apart and mix in with the gravy.  Serve warm over bowls of extra-wide egg noodles.  

Store leftover beef stroganoff in fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze (without the noodles) for later use (within 6 months).
