Sunday's roast becomes Monday's stroganoff

So I really enjoy giving leftovers a makeover (that's a mouthful). It's fun making something completely new and different from something old, and possibly mundane. I am afforded this opportunity quite often thanks to getting leftovers from catering. Today, I made beef stroganoff with some leftover roast beef.

What you need:

Leftover roast beef (however much you have)
1 can (14.5 oz or so) beef stock
1 can (10 oz or so) cream of mushroom soup
chopped mushrooms
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
cooked egg noodles

What you do:

Mix together the first 5 ingredients in a large skillet (or big pot, if you've got lots of roast). If the sauce needs to be thickened, mash 1 tbs. butter and a teaspoon or two of cornstarch together, and add it to the sauce. ***Using a fat to add the thickening agent to a sauce makes for a smoother sauce.*** Simmer for about 15 mins, and toss w/noodles.

Enjoy!
