Easy Bacon and Beef Stroganoff

Dear Bacon Fans,

Yes, this is up on the infamous (in my head, damn it!!) The Bacon Page on FB, but for the rest of you...here is a really great and simple recipe!!! 

1 to 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

3 slices bacon, diced...SERIOUSLY???  I used 7 slices of bacon....

1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon salt
dash pepper

1 can (10 1/2 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup chopped onion - I NEVER save part of an onion...I used the whole thing...

1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika

1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

This recipe was from Bacon Today, but I modified it....

Step 1 - Cook Bacon, drain and crumble when cool.

Step 2 – Brown ground beef in a large skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring, until ground beef is well browned. 

Step 3 - add diced onion to nearly cooked ground beef.  Cook until onion is tender, about 3-4 minutes more.

Step 4 – Drain off excess fat. Blend in the flour, salt, paprika, pepper, and cream of mushroom soup. Cook over low heat, uncovered, for about 15 to 20 minutes. Toss noodles into the water once it starts boiling.

Step 5 – Go back to your almost complete stroganoff and add the sour cream and bacon crumbles and mix it well. 

Step 6 - Stir in noodles.  (yes, original recipe says to serve over noodles, but come on, it's all going to get mixed up)

EAT.  YUM.

I'm sorry there are no pics.  Yes, the Bacon Lady was just not in the mood tonight to take pics.  I promise to get back on my game soon...REALLY!!!
