Beef and Noodles with Sour Cream and Paprika

I have been making this fabulous recipe for more than 30 years! It was published in a wonderful Women's Day Cookbook series. The last line of this recipe should read: "sprinkle with paprika and parsley." I tried adding balsamic vinegar, and it gave it a nice flavor. I usually add more of everything so we'll have leftovers. This dish stands the test of time. Try it.
