Rikki's Beef and Leeks

The recipe was awesome. I used 3 tablespoons of Tomato sauce. I also used smoked paprika instead of just paprika. I also didn't put 1 cup of half and half, I used about 1/4 cup. My son like it and so did i. I didn't have egg noodles so I had to use rice noodles YUK...never again. Next time I'll use egg noodles

2 Large onions + 2 leeks + minimal other ingredients = onion stroganoff. Not my idea of a good time.

I just made this because I had a bunch of leeks left over from another dish and wanted to use them up on a cool, fall evening. I thought this was very good!! I used the ground beef and chicken stock options, was sure to include tomato paste and used Dijon mustard. When I dished it up, I sprinkled just a tad of cinnamon. Soo yummy.

I am sorry to say that as written, this just didn't have much flavor for us. I doubled all of the seasonings and still didn't find that it was greatly improved. Thankfully, Hubby was late getting home and I was forced to improvise to keep dinner warm. I tossed the egg noodles with the beef mixture, stirred in more broth and some steak seasoning and plopped it into a warm oven to wait for his arrival. By the time Hubby made it home, the additional seasonings had melded through the dish, and it was a hearty dinner.

This was quite nice -- sort of a beef paprikash with leeks (which we love in anything!). Didn't have ground beef, so we made it with ground venison, and it was very yummy.
