3 tbsp. butter
6 med. onions (about 2 lb.), thinly sliced
2 lb. beef for stew, cut into 1 inch chunks
1/4 c. paprika (yes, this much)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 (8 oz.) container sour cream
4 c. buttered, hot cooked noodles

About 2 1/2 hours before serving: 1. In 5 quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, in hot butter, cook onions until lightly browned. Add meat, paprika, and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours until meat is fork-tender. 2. Stir in sour cream, heat through (do not boil). Serve over noodles, if you like. Makes 8 servings.
