Chili Stroganoff

I enjoy making other peoples recipes more than trying to create my own! Although sometimes I end up tweaking someone's recipe so much that it becomes a totally different recipe! I call that a 'Super Tweak'...sounds like 'Super Freak' doesn't it? Now try to get that song out of your head!

But once in a while I will get a craving for something! That's when I start creating my own recipes! So, most of my own recipes that I post, are created from those 'super tweaked' recipes or from my cravings! This next recipe was born from a super tweaked recipe that I found on Allrecipes.com. Also the recipe ended up winning me my 4th Blue Ribbon on the 'Just a Pinch' cooking website! The 'Just a Pinch' kitchen crew tried my recipe and loved it so much that they thought it was ribbon worthy! I love it that they do that for their members!

This dish tastes just like what I named it! So if you love chili and if you love beef stroganoff, then you will love this recipe!
