Day 3. In a large skillet. Add a little oil and saute a thin sliced onion. When just about transparent add a container of the beef still frozen Add a 4 ounce can of sliced mushrooms. As it thaws take a 1 lb package of frozen broccoli and thaw in warm water.
Add water to the skillet to make 2 cups..Lift out the beef and slice it thin. When the broth comes to a boil add a package of Knor Beef Stroganoff noodles...Cook per label instructions. Nuke the broccoli until it is hot and drain.
Stir sour cream into the beef mixture. Gently add the broccoli.

One dish....Has it all.

Day 4. Use a large pot. Add a container of the beef. Coarsely chop an onion, 2-3 stalks of celery, Add water or beef broth to make about 1 quart of liquid. Lift out the beef and cut into small chunks. Add barley, parsley and a 4 oz can of mushrooms. Simmer till done. Quick cooking barley will take about 30 minutes, the regular stuff will take about 2 hours.

Day 5.Fix something else because you are sick of beef.
