Making my favorite beef stroganoff for dinner. The house smells great. I
use the Betty Crocker cookbook recipe and add more garlic and also add a
tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. It comes out great and is one of out
favorite dinners. When I make it for guests, they all think it is something
fancy, yet it is very simple. Of course some of our guests think that and
instant dessert out of a box is good!!

Sounds good to me, I will have to try it. I have a Betty Crocker book
here somewhere. I started using that cookbook when I was a kid. My
sister and I made the divinity recipe in that cookbook when I was 12 and
she was 14. It came out perfect every time. We were too ignorant to
realize divinity could be difficult to make. We did not have a candy
thermometer, so we had to place a drop in cold water. My mother was a
good cook, but she never made candy, so we made it ourselves. That was
a wonderful cookbook now that I think about it. If I were to glance
through it right now I might change my mind, so I think I won't. lol

Did you use this recipe??

If so may God help you. 1/4 cup flour tossed into 1 1/2 cups beef broth.

I don't know which one you cam up with. Mine is from the 1969 cookbook.
Yes it does have 2 tablespoons of catsup. It add a bit of sweetness that is
good. It uses all real ingredients, including diced fresh onion. It does
call for adding the flour (only 3TBS, I use more like 2) to the beef
bouillon. This is for the novice who would otherwise get lumps. I don't
have to bother to do that, and I use Wondra flour. I like the recipe as it
is easy and VERY good.

Later,

Tomato & tomato products cooked for any length of time turn brown. As
example if you add tomato sauce or paste to a stew it will add brown color &
richness.

I was given that cookbook as an engagement present a hundred years
ago. My mother wasn't "into" cooking - your basic '50s back of the box
and back of the can cook, so I had to learn from scratch. The Better
Homes and Gardens Cookbook was my go-to cookbook as a new bride and
taught me the rudiments. It also piqued my interest in cooking. I had
bought the obligatory Joy of Cooking, but it was the BHG cookbook that
made cooking fun. I think my next cookbook purchases were Craig
Claiborne's _New York Times Cookbook_ and James Beard's _American
Cookery_, both of which I still consult.

No, they probably threw it out after it reached the "Rock Hard" stage.
