Ground Beef Stroganoff

My husband and my son are meat eaters.  My daughter and I are too, but we could go without eating meat for every meal... they can't.   I made this Stroganoff to appease the meat eaters in my family.  But before I start, I have two confessions with this recipe.  1.  I don't like to cut meat if I don't have too (hence the use of ground).  2.  This really isn't ground beef (it's chicken!) since I don't eat beef. Okay... sorry for the misleading title, but you can certainly make this ground beef if you like.  Heck you can even make it with soy crumbles. You can use what ever you like, the sauce is still the same.  I titled it ground beef because Stroganoff usually is beef... but you know I'm a rebel.   We ate it over rice and it was a creamy and delicious meal.  I got my son to eat green peppers, mushrooms and onions... it's also a win with the battle of the picky eater for me. :)
