Machine'S Beef Stroganoff

1. 1

   In a Dutch oven, brown the meat and onion.

2. 2

   Chili or other ground beef can be broken up as it cooks, otherwise cut the meat into cubes or strips half an inch thick or so.

3. 3

   Drain it when browned.

4. 4

   While the meat is browning, boil a pot of water for the noodles. Ideally, you want the water to boil just after the meat is browned.

5. 5

   Also while the meat is browning, cut up the cream cheese so it will melt easier. As soon as the meat is in the strainer to drain, put the cream cheese into the Dutch oven over medium heat to melt.

6. 6

   Once it melts acceptably (don't wait for it to become liquid, just soft enough that it'll mix in), add the other ingredients except the noodles.

7. 7

   Stir thoroughly until it forms a horrible-looking goop. (If it's an awful shade of brown or gray, don't worry-- that's what it always looks like.)

8. 8

   Add Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and any other seasoning to taste. (I usually go wild with the Worcestershire, but it's up to you.)

9. 9

   When the water comes to a boil, throw in the noodles and prepare as per the package.

10. 10

    Add the meat to the sauce at this time as well.

11. 11

    Once the noodles are done, dish it up like spaghetti.
