Skid Row Stroganoff - Freezer Meal

Ok, this isn't the recipe I made for the above-pictured freezer meal, but I don't like how creamy it turned out.  The pictured recipe might end up tasting just fine, but after I put it together I wished I would have made the following recipe, Skid Row Stroganoff.  My friend Mish gave this recipe to me at one of my bridal showers and I have made it many, many times and I know it's delish.

What You Need:

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 4 oz can mushrooms (I can't stand canned, I use fresh)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 package wide egg noodles
• Chopped parsley (optional, and dried can also be used)

What You Do:

1. Brown garlic, onion, mushrooms, and beef in oil.
2. Add flour, salt, paprika.
3. Simmer until beef is cooked.
4. Add soup, simmer on low for 10 minutes.
5. Turn off heat and stir in sour cream.
6. Remove from burner and allow to cool.
7. Label a gallon Ziploc freezer bag:  Thaw in fridge.  Simmer on low until heated through while you cook egg noodles.  Serve over noodles and garnish with paprika and parsley.
8. Pour into freezer bag, remove as much air as possible, freeze flat.
