Different idea but still Stroganoff related- I went to an Uzbeki restaurant and ordered it and was shocked when it came out not with egg nooddles but french fries… HOLEE SHIT! Loved it. In my family a “mushroom burger” means slathered in cream of mushroom soup/velveeta sauce- not sauteed mushrooms and swiss cheese. > [@Hazle\_Weatherfield](#): > > I usually put salsa instead of salad dressing on my salad. And I’ll eat salsa right out of the jar, like gazpacho. I bought a fancy bottle of salad dressing “garden vegetable” flavor… it was just salsa. I use it with chips AND salad. It’s good. ---

> [@mnemosyne](#): > > Shake-and-bake pork chops. I deliberately over-cook them, so the shake-and-bake gets very crispy and slightly caramelized and the pork is a little dry. For some reason, I just love the taste more this way. My husband thought I was nuts, but has now come around to realizing that it’s the only way to eat them! Other pork chops get cooked properly, but not shake-and-bake! Ha! I am exactly the same way except with Oven Fry and not Shake and Bake! ---

Maybe in the same vein, my huevos rancheros looks like this: -2 fried eggs -Black beans -Grated cheese -Sour cream -Salsa -Corn tortillas So far fairly normal. Except that I layer them in a tower until it’s like a tall stack of pancakes. Total heart-attack meal, and delicious. I haven’t made it in years; I should make it soon. ---

Everybody but my mom makes taco salads wrong. They’re supposed to be chili on a bed of lettuce, topped with Fritos and French dressing. Actually, that sounds kind of gross. ---

> [@dwyr](#): > > When I was a kid my mother would make this dish we called ravioli which in no way resembled anything vaguely italian but I loved it. I think she found the recipe in a Pillsbury Bake Off cookbook and it used ground beef, jarred spaghetti sauce, canned crescent rolls, and american cheese slices. My Mom used to make something she called “cheeseburger pie,” which if I recall correctly was made of exactly this. Might have been Velveeta instead of American. It was the standard meal for when Dad had to work late. Sooooooo good. ---

It was one of those fast and cheep dishes my mom would make when she had little time, and the budget was thin. Mostly ground beef, Cream of mushroom soup, Flour and milk with tons of pepper on egg noodles. Kind of an SOS variation. Sounds like a… Strogaknockoff. 😃 ---

Loved it. > > \ Zyada and I just picked up a cookbook at a garage sale (_Russian Festive Cooking_ by Susan Ward), in which the rather conventional Stroganoff of course shouldn’t come with rice, but “a tuft of straw potatoes on top is classically acceptable.” For my own wrong food, I’ll suggest classic English trifle, (Prairie style from the 1950s): slightly dry yellow cake from a mix, with nicely hardened butter (really margarine) icing, cut up in a pan and dotted with strawberry jam, then covered with vanilla pudding. ---

Tacos made with the crunchy Ortega hard shells. Yes, I prefer real tacos when I have the time to make them, and no I don’t pretend this is real Mexican food. But the crunchy corn chip texture just goes so well with the spicy ground beef. And sometimes this cheap, simple to make, but tasty fare really hits the spot.
