Has anyone perfected their beef stroganoff dehydrated recipe? I’d love to hear it!

I don't know if it has been perfected, but this is the recipe that I stole from somewhere and my crew requests it every year:

Beef Stroganoff

2 ½ pounds lean ground beef
2 medium onions finely chopped
2 cups of chopped mushrooms
4 cups beef broth
2 cups sweet peas
2 cloves of chopped garlic
1 package mushroom gravy
1 package brown gravy
10 ounces uncooked egg noodles
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste
Powdered Sour Cream (2 cup equivalent — usually 2/3 cup of powdered sour cream)
Powdered butter – 1 Tbsp per serving (optional)

Lightly brown your ground beef in a Dutch oven. Place your browned ground beef in a colander and rinse with hot water to remove the remaining fat.

Wipe the fat from your Dutch oven and then sauté your onion for about 7 minutes. Add your ground beef, 3 cups of beef broth, sweet peas, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce and your garlic. Simmer covered over low heat for about 10 minutes.

Add your egg noodles and stir well. Simmer covered for another 7 minutes.

Mix your mushroom and brown gravy packets into 1 cup of beef broth and mix into the stroganoff. Simmer the stroganoff uncovered for another 3 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Salt and pepper to taste.

Spread your stroganoff onto a fine mesh tray in your dehydrator or on a cookie sheet if you’re dehydrating with your oven. Dehydrate for 10 – 12 hours at 160 F.

When you package your meal add 4 – 6 tablespoons of sour cream powder to each serving.

If you like, you can also add 1 tablespoon of butter powder to each serving as well. This will help give the stroganoff a bit of additional depth.

You will get 6 two cup serving with this recipe.


Rehydrate:

Pour boiling water ½ inch over your meal and let it sit in a cozy. Your meal should rehydrate for 20 minutes in a pot.

FBC: Bring your water to a boil and pour enough water in your bag to cover your meal with 1/2 inch of water. Let your meal sit in a cozy for about 25 minutes.

I can’t help much, but can say I experimented with dehydrating non-fat sour cream last summer and was surprised how well it worked. It’s such a key ingredient I thought it might help.
