Beef and Bacon Stroganoff

I love my mom's stroganoff, so I was hard pressed to try another type of recipe for stroganoff. Besides, why mess with something that isn't broken? But, the allure of BACON won out in the end and it was worth it! ;) Once I got past the "what? no rice" part of me - hey that's what we ALWAYS served it with... I tried it and thought that it wasn't too bad! Josh and his mom raved about it and were very happy with the end result of my newest dish... Guess we'll have to try it again - maybe with rice next time! :)
