This Beef Stroganoff recipe takes the classic beef stroganoff recipe and turns it into an easy slow-cooker meal. Tender beef, hearty mushrooms and a creamy sauce poured over a bowl of warm egg noodles is the definition of comfort food. It also re-heats well. Read on to enter the giveaway!June is National Dairy Month and I for one am thankful for dairy. Butter, cheese, milk, yogurt; I wouldn’t want to cook without them! It’s also perfect timing for the release of this cookbook that compiles recipes from America’s dairy farmers, The Dairy Good Cookbook.

Great big thank you to all of the families who work hard to produce all the wholesome dairy products that our family enjoys and to Dairy Good for sponsoring this post (as always, the opinions and text are my own).

A little about this cookbook:

*113 everyday, family-friendly recipes shared by the folks who work hard to create the dairy products we love.
*You get a glimpse of the families that produce the dairy products in your fridge. I particularly liked reading about the Lourenzo family from Oregon who get their children involved with their farm. It’s similar to our family’s story (minus the cows, of course). We also love to get the whole family involved with our blog; developing recipes together and giving our son a deeper appreciation for what’s on his dinner plate. The book doubles as a teaching tool to show kids where their dairy products come from.
*The Dairy Good Cookbook is available in stores nationwide or can also be purchased online through Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Indie Bound

    My mom’s au gratin potatoes. They are delicious at a special dinner like Easter or for any occasion. When I make them now, I find myself trying to scrape off and eat all of the bits stuck to the pan, because there are never any leftovers.

    A dish I have always loved was cheese stuffed Italian shells. My mom always used cottage cheese instead of ricotta. I liked it so much, I would request it for my birthday dinner as a kid!

    Potato gratin. Thinly sliced potatoes and onions, a bit of flour, butter, salt and pepper, and then fill the baking dish with enough milk to cover everything. My mom learned it from her mom, who grew up on a farm. We used to comment on how it was a total farmer food. Delicious.

    Thank you, Natasha!
    My old time favorite food – kefir and farmer’s cheese pancakes with sour cream. I don’t think there is a recipe. I just combine farmer’s cheese, egg, a bit of flour and some salt and sugar + backing soda. 🙂

    I’d love to learn great recipes that include dairy. I personally make my own sour cream from buttermilk. My mom has taught me how to make it since I got married. I’m used to Russian sour cream and store bought just doesn’t do it. I mix the whipping cream and half/half into the buttermilk and let it sit out for a day.

    A dish that has meaning for me is cauliflower au gratin. It was the first recipe I ever made by myself, and my parents loved it!

    My kids always ask for the good old fashioned hot cacao with mini marshmallows on cold winter days followed by a movie. That is one of many ways we use milk in our recipes.

    I can’t wait to try the beef stroganoff! It’s in the high 90’s this weekend and using the crockpot will not heat up the kitchen!

    Malochnaya kasha (Milk and rice with some sugar) growing up with 5 kids in our family. Grandma would make this and divide it evenly into every plate. When we came home from school our plate was waiting for us. There was no eating seconds so you had to enjoy ever bite …. This wasn’t all the time but if you ask my other siblings they will agree it was a good childhood memory.
