I used this in my Wednesday night cooking class but quickly realized that the amount of liquid just made the bread soggy. Once I reduced it by about half it was much better. This was a great recipe to go with my 'around the world' theme.

I'm famous for my stroganov! In fact it actually replaced hamburgers as my husband's favorite food!
