This recipe is a twist on a beef stroganoff with a Mexican slant! It’s really yummy and certainly a filling recipe. This would also make a great pasta bake. This recipe freezes well. I do encourage you to make my ThermoFun taco seasoning too.
This is a great recipe to learn lots of new techniques! Mince your meat, grate cheese and cook fettuccine in the Thermomix and cook mince in the simmering basket. This recipe was enjoyed by many on the July 2014, ThermoFun Cook Along.
NB: Turkey or chicken can be used instead of beef, if desired.

Notes
Tip: Grating Cheese:
Cheese grates better if either partially frozen or straight from the fridge.
Tip: Mincing Meat:
I personally use round or rump steak to mince. I cut it into chunks and remove fat and sinew. It is important to remove all sinew where possible, as it does not mince at all well.
Meat is easier to mince when it is partially frozen. However it still works if you are not organised enough to have it partially frozen.
I mince 250g of meat at a time.
To mince meat: *1 sec / Turbo and repeat to desired consistency.

What a delicious and filling recipe! I have made this several times now and it's been an absolute winner each and every time! The last time I made it, I got 4 huge meals out of it, so it's definitely a great one for feeding a crowd.
Thank you for another ThermoFuntastic recipe!
thermofun says
Ha love the ThermoFuntastic - Glad you've enjoyed the recipe.
LMD says
Hello! I made this delicious dinner tonight, and HEY PRESTO.....my VEEEERRRRRY picky 6yo ate it and promptly asked for a second serving!! :) I did make a couple of simple changes though as I didn't have chilli or marjoram in the Taco Seasoning that I made, and i used Sweet Chilli Cream Cheese instead of plain. It didn't matter that I left out the chilli powder from the seasoning because the cream cheese was actually fairly spicy hot. Also, I left out the capsicum since I didn't have it. SO....THANK YOU HEAPS, LOVE IT! (sorry for long msg but had to tell you :0) !
thermofun says
That's awesome to hear Leanne! Any child that goes back for seconds with dinner makes the recipe a winner! :)

We loved the flavour of this. I made the taco seasoning as per the linked recipe. First night I had it with caulimash and then we had it in fajitas - it was great and so tasty.
Thanks Leonie !!!
