Hi, Phaed - I just saw an 8 year old video on a YouTube channel called Sorted Food.
It was a demonstration of a dish they called Beef Stroganoff Bake. It used ground
beef and fresh spinach in the recipe, but the most interesting twist was mixing the
rice with sour cream. The dish was layered and then baked. There was a link to the
recipe in the description, but the page no longer exists. A Google search yielded
only links to the video. I'm wondering if you might be able to locate that recipe.
Thank you so much for your consideration!
Hellooo Mary,
Mary, if you ever want me to find anything else, pleeeeze send the urls.... , like the
one for the video and the one that used to go to the recipe that was in the description.
I found them, but it would have saved me time if you had provided them.
The url in the description that no longer goes to the recipe is: https://www.sortedfood.com/stroganoffbake
Sometimes, if I have the old url and if the spirits cooperate, I can find webpages
that are no longer on the web. I was able to do so this time. The recipe that was
at that location is below.

Beef Stroganoff Bake
Ingredients
250 g long-grain rice
1 red onion
2 cloves of garlic
25 ml olive oil
250 g chestnut mushrooms
500 g beef mince
1 tbsp dried oregano
200 ml beef stock
400 g spinach
1 lemon
200 ml sour cream
2 slices of white bread, stale
Step 1
COOK THE RICE
Boil a pan of salted water and cook the rice for 10 minutes (until soft and fluffy).
Drain, then leave it to cool.
Step 2
BEEF FILLING
Peel and finely slice the onion and garlic. Fry both off in a large pan with the
olive oil and a lid to trap in the steam. Slice the mushrooms and add to the
softened and sweet onions after 4-5 minutes and cook for another couple of
minutes. Dump in the beef and continue to cook until it changes colour then
splash in the beef stock, oregano and plenty of salt and pepper. Heat to a
bubble and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
Step 3
BLANCH SPINACH
Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds, or simply pour a kettle full
of boiling water over the leaves, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture.
Squeeze a little lemon juice into the spinach and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
LAYER
Blitz the bread into crumbs and drizzle in a little extra olive oil. Mix the cooled rice
with the sour cream. Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Layer the rice, beef mix and spinach
in a large family size oven-proof serving dish. Repeat layers to fill the dish and then
scatter generously with breadcrumbs.
Step 5
BAKE
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the bread is golden and the bake is bubbling, then serve.

Thank you so much!
