Article: Desperation Dinners: Hamburger stroganoff is a real winner; Reader likes it because it includes 3 kinds of vegetables

It's been over a decade since we published our first Desperation Dinners recipe, and we couldn't help but wonder which 20-minute meals readers have enjoyed most over the years.

So we decided to take a poll, and the result is our very own Desperation Dinners Recipe Hall of Fame.

The first inductee - "Hamburger Stroganoff in a Hurry" from March 1996 - was nominated by Leane Trovitch of West Allis, Wis.

"The reason I love it is it's so easy, delicious and I can get three vegetables into my husband, who does not like many vegetables," Leane says. "Also with the use of the light soup and sour cream, it cuts the fat and calories. I've even used ground turkey."

Stay tuned.

Our trip down memory lane ...
