By Linda Gassenheimer, Tribune News Service (TNS) Stroganoff is an old Russian stand-by usually made with beef or turkey. Here’s a modern version made with hamburger meat. The mixture of mushrooms, tomato paste, mustard and a dash of Worcestershire sauce gives the stroganoff sauce a tangy blend of flavors and a thick texture.
