Frugal Feasts: Easy Crock-Pot Turkey Stroganoff

Every Wednsday, I offer a recipe based on what's on sale at the grocery store. Harris Teeter is again offering triple coupons. I hope a lot of you will be shopping the good deals at the Teeter; and by good deals, I mean the ones on the list Sue Stock put together here.

Sue lists an online coupon for $75 cents off No Yolk Noodles. Here is the coupon link. That means even if you don't clip coupons, you have no excuse not to print out that coupon and get the noodles for 14 cents. Now that's a good deal. 

I have a stack of Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade cookbooks on my desk. So I pulled this recipe for Turkey Stroganoff out of the "Money Saving Slow Cooking" cookbook. I think I would substitute chicken in this recipe because the Harris Teeter also has fresh boneless chicken breasts on sale buy one, get one free this week. 

And don't forget I'm giving a copy of this cookbook away, Quick, Cheap Comfort Foo: 100-plus Fresh Recipes for Meals in a Hurry," by Victoria Shearer.

You must leave a comment below last week's Frugal Feasts post to be entered into the drawing for the cookbook. The deadline is noon Friday.
